Materials and Methods: Two stages experimental research was conducted in vitro on 20 human corpses, died due to various reasons. Clinico-radiological study was carried out in vivo on 41 patients with injuries of sciatic nerve and acetabulum. Results: Research data can confidently state that topographic proximity of sciatic nerve to acetabulum especially to its posterior-upper edge determines high risk of nerve lesion at acetabulum fractures due to influence of bone fragments, formed hematoma, forming scars. Conclusion: Acetabulum fractures are potentially dangerous for possibility of simultaneous injury of sciatic nerve; in this case a patient has to be subjected to special examination with the purpose of his sciatic nerve status evaluation.
