Thanks for your question and seeking information to support your health. An intraarticular fracture is one in which the break crosses into the surface of a joint. These are treated like other fractures but have additional considerations related to the position of bone fragments and their relationship to ligaments. You will need to talk with your doctor about your specific treatment but generally the goal is to restore the joint surfaces to their original positions, but this is not always possible. Treatment may include surgery and the use of hardware to help hold the bones in position. The following link provides more information about the type of hardware used in most pelvic procedures: http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/Patients/Health-Conditions/Pelvic-Fracture.aspx

We provide general information to assist you in advocating for your health. You will need to discuss your specific situation with your doctor who has your complete medical history and diagnostic information. Good luck to you.
