This study is comparing two surgical methods for fixing a broken hip socket (acetabular posterior wall fracture). One method uses a pelvic reconstruction plate with screws placed through the plate (Rim Plate group). The other method uses a buttress plate without these extra screws (Buttress Plate group). Researchers want to see if the Rim Plate method leads to better healing, less joint damage, and improved function. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, have a recent hip socket fracture from an injury, and can have surgery within 14 days. The study will look at how well the bone heals, any displacement of the broken bone, and how much space is lost in the joint after 12 months.
