Pathophysiology of infections after internal fixation of fractures.
TL;DR: Because of the potential for infection whenever internal fixation is utilized, appropriate prophylactic antibiotic coverage for staphylococci and Gram‐negative organisms should be provided.

Functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty for the acute management of acetabular fractures: 1- to 14-year follow-up.
TL;DR: Functional outcomes in patients treated acutely with combined open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and immediate total hip arthroplasty (THA) for displaced comminuted acetabular fractures is a safe viable treatment option with good to excellent functional outcomes and may reduce the need for 2 separate operations in many patients.

TL;DR: This article reports a prospective series of periprosthetic femur fractures in 33 patients treated with a modernized fracture treatment protocol, finding that restoration of function was predictable.

Acetabular Fractures in the Elderly: A Critical Analysis Review.
TL;DR: In the physiologically compromised elderly patient with an acetabular fracture, nonoperative treatment is associated with functional outcomes similar to those seen in healthier patients who undergo open reduction and internal fixation, with similar mortality and lesser need for late conversion to total hip arthroplasty.

TL;DR: Open reduction of displaced femoral neck fractures in nonelderly adults is associated with a greater hazard of reoperation without significantly improving reduction, and Prospective randomized trials are indicated to confirm a causative effect of open versus closed reduction on outcomes after Femoral neck fracture.
