    "abstract": "The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of computer-tomography-navigated closed reduction and percutaneous fixation (CRPF) in a patient with an externally rotated left acetabular fracture. After a follow-up of 18 months the patient was pain-free and had a normal range of motion in both hip joints. Radiologically, the fracture was fully consolidated, remodelled, and there were no signs of osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, CT-navigated CRPF of a rotated acetabular fracture has not been reported before. Further studies regarding the feasibility of the method are warranted.",
