How long does acetabular surgery take?
In general, most acetabular fractures are operated on either through the buttock (bottom) muscles, or through the groin area (between the legs). Surgery generally involves putting the pieces back where they came from and holding them there with plates and screws. Your operation should take between one and two hours.
