The authors reviewed 44 inveterate fractures of the acetabulum treated surgically by internal osteosynthesis. The definition of inveterate fracture concerns lesions that are treated from 21 to 90 days after trauma. Based on an analysis of this series several features of a prognostic and therapeutic nature may be determined. In particular, it may be observed just how difficult it is to standardize therapeutic strategies in relation to polymorphism and anatomopathologic progression of the lesions.
