Acetabulum surgery

Introduction to Acetabulum Surgery

The acetabulum is the cup-shaped socket in the hip bone that holds the head of the femur, allowing smooth movement of the hip joint. Acetabular fractures are complex injuries that require specialized surgical treatment to restore joint function and prevent long-term complications like arthritis.

At Dhakar Hospital, we specialize in acetabulum surgery, offering advanced orthopedic care, precise surgical techniques, and personalized rehabilitation to ensure the best recovery outcomes.
