CORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

This is a right T-shaped acetabular fracture with anterior wall comminution and right pelvic fracture, lateral compression, which is displaced 5 mm. This sounds like it would do best with an open reduction but the fracture in the acetabulum is very comminuted. The choice is not clear.
