Both FaR and ORIF appear to be sound treatment options in the management of geriatric acetabular fractures. Patients in the FaR group achieved immediate or partial weightbearing earlier than the ORIF group, however time to postoperative mobilization did not differ between the two groups. The remainder of acute postoperative outcomes (LOS, postoperative disposition, and 90-day readmission rates) did not differ between the two groups.
