"The classification was first reported in 1964 by Professor Robert Judet (1909-1980), Dr Jean Judet (1905-1995), and Dr Émile Letournel (1927-1994), who were orthopaedic surgeons in Paris, France 1,13,14. Robert and Jean were brothers 14."
"The Judet and Letournal classification is the most commonly used system for classifying acetabular fractures (c.2023), and its primary application is for presurgical planning 15."

"The morphology of fracture patterns is described from the point of view of looking at the acetabulum en face from the lateral side. Structures that are key to the classification are the anterior and posterior walls (rims) of the acetabulum and the anterior (iliopubic) and posterior (ilioischial) columns of the innominate bones, including their confluence at the sciatic buttress and the quadrilateral plate."
"superiorly, transverse fracture line is similar to the elemental transverse fracture, although the anterior and posterior components may not have a common orientation 9"

"The most frequent types, accounting for >80% of fractures, are posterior wall, both column, and transverse + posterior wall, followed by T-shaped and transverse 3,5,7. Thus, about one-half of acetabular fractures contain a posterior wall component 5."

"The elementary (or elemental) patterns fracture the innominate bone through the acetabulum into two major fragments. There are five types:"
"fractures detaching the inferior (ischiopubic) portion of the innominate bone and, separately, one or multiple fragments of the posterior acetabular wall"
"morphologically equivalent to elemental transverse fracture (with transtectal, juxtatectal or infratectal course) that begins in a notch created by the separation of one or multiple posterior wall fragment(s) 9"
"fractures detaching most of the ischium from the rest of the innominate bone and, separately, one or multiple fragments of the posterior acetabular wall (posterior articular surface and acetabular rim)"
