Introduction

Nursing is a healthcare profession that is focused on the care and treatment of individuals, families, and communities in order to promote and maintain their health, prevent illness, and provide care for those who are ill or injured. Nurses are an integral part of the healthcare team and work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, schools, and community health centers. The role of a nurse includes assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating patient care, as well as educating patients and their families on health issues and disease prevention. Nurses may also administer medications, perform treatments, and provide emotional support to patients and their families. Nursing is a demanding and rewarding profession that requires a high level of compassion, critical thinking, and clinical expertise. Nurses must have excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals in order to provide the best possible care for their patients. There are many different paths to becoming a nurse, including obtaining a nursing diploma, an associate degree in nursing, or a bachelor's degree in nursing. Advanced practice nurses may also pursue a master's or doctoral degree in nursing in order to specialize in a specific area of practice, such as nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist.

Retrospective review of patients with acetabular fractures treated surgically at the Mexican Red Cross Central Hospital between August 2013 and January 2016. Descriptive statistical analysis in terms of frequency, proportions, and X2 were performed to determine qualitative dependency among variables, with a P value of 0.05 used to determine significance.32 patients were sampled, 26 of whom were males with an average age of 36.3 years. 75% were caused by an accident involving a motor vehicle (P=0.0052). Damage control orthopaedics were performed in 68.7% of cases, with a positive relationship between this and subsequent surgical treatment (P=0.0052).
