High energy fractures of the pelvis are a challenging problem both in the immediate post-
injury phase and later when definitive fixation is undertaken. No single management …

Once the patient with pelvic fracture is resuscitated and stabilized, definitive surgical
management and anatomic restoration of the pelvic ring become the goal. Understanding …

Background Surgical stabilization of posterior pelvic ring fractures can be achieved by either
open or closed methods. They all provide a comparable biomechanical stability. The aim of …

We performed a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the use and interpretation of
generic and disease-specific functional outcome instruments in the reporting of outcome …

Objective To evaluate the displacement in four lateral compression type 2 (LC2) fracture
subtypes (iliac wing and three kinds of crescent fractures) and to investigate the appropriate …

Objective Day type II crescent fracture–dislocation is a subtype of pelvic lateral compression
injury. At present, there is still a controversy on the operative approach and fixation …

Background Spinopelvic dissociation (SPD) is generally caused by high-energy injury
mechanisms, and, in the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, it can lead to chronic …

Crescent fracture-dislocation of the sacroiliac joint (CFDSIJ) is a type of lateral compression
pelvic injury associated with instability. Open reduction and internal fixation is a traditional …

Traumatic injury to the pelvic ring is a result of high energy trauma in young patients. These
osteo-ligamentous injuries are associated with numerous lesions including retroperitoneal …

Objectives: Describe the trajectory of functional recovery for patients with surgically treated
unstable pelvic ring injuries from baseline to 5 years. Design: Prospective cohort study …
