“…Of note, there was a noticeable increase in the incidence of surgically treated acetabular fractures during our study period (2005 to 2012) in China, while our data and most papers from Europe and the USA quote a constant incidence [1,3,8]. This change in China may be due to the growing number of cars per capita, a booming economy with a significant development of the construction industry, and a migration from the countryside to the cities.…”

“…In recent years, a considerable number of studies related to the care and immediate or late complications of this type of injury have been published, which is undoubtedly praiseworthy, since they increasingly inform and guide the professionals involved in such care, characterizing the importance and severity of the injury, especially in polytrauma cases 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. However, a much smaller proportion of publications are related to epidemiological data, regional or otherwise, about fractures and injuries of the pelvic ring, which also have very important information, especially regarding the characterization and appropriateness of care for such an injury 3, 10, 11. Therefore, this study sought to analyze and compare various data, such as age, mechanism and site of injury, type of fracture, emergency interventions, and definitive treatment, among others, referring to the cases of fractures and injuries of the pelvic ring that occurred in this region and were treated in this service.…”

ObjectiveThis study evaluated the pelvic ring fractures and injuries in patients admitted to and treated at this ward between August, 2012 and January, 2014.Methods66 patients were submitted to treatment protocols according to their age, gender, skin color, injury mechanism, location of the trauma, classification of their injuries, emergency intervention, associated injuries, injured side of the body, treatment, and mortality. The most relevant data were classified according to statistic procedures, such as Goodman's association test. Measures were compared with Student's t-test and analysis of variance associated with Tukey's multiple comparison test.ResultsThe mean age was 47 years; white race and male gender were most common. Car or truck accident was the most common cause of injuries, which occurred mainly in urban sites. Type A injuries were the most frequent. 16.6% of the cases were submitted to emergency surgery. 42.4% displayed associated injuries. The right side of the body was the most commonly affected side. Non-invasive treatment was most commonly used. Death was the outcome in 3% of the cases, associated to high-energy trauma.ConclusionsPelvic ring fractures and injuries are more often verified among males. In general and among younger individuals, traffic accidents are the most common cause of the injury, while among the elderly, ordinary falls are the most commonly verified cause. The majority of those injuries are suffered in urban areas. Type A fractures are more frequent. The majority of cases do not require emergency intervention nor do they feature associated injuries. Non-invasive treatment is most common and death outcomes are associated to high-energy traumas with severe injuries.

“…Quite often, such patients suffer from polytrauma [1,2]. As soon as the pelvic ring fracture has been diagnosed (commonly by polytrauma CT), the surgeon must decide on the specific time and type of repair/stabilisation and/ or the pelvic surgery technique.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of unstable type C pelvic fractures treated with posterior stabilisation and the anterior subcutaneous internal fixator (ASIF). Methods Altogether, 36 consecutive patients were treated for unstable type C pelvic ring fractures using posterior stabilisation and ASIF. After a minimum of 18 months, the clinical and radiological outcome was retrospectively investigated. Results Overall, three patients (8.3 %) died, and 31 patients (86 %) were available for follow-up after a mean of 4.5 years. Thirty of 31 patients (97 %) showed radiographic bone consolidation of both the posterior and anterior pelvic ring. Only one non-union and two infections due to the anterior device were observed. The total German pelvic outcome score showed an excellent or good rating for 64.5 % of the patients, and a fair or poor for 35.5 %. The SF-12 questionnaire showed a significantly reduced total score for physical and mental health compared to a general reference population. Conclusions The ASIF represents an innovative surgical procedure for the treatment of type C pelvic ring fractures. In the medium term, patient satisfaction was high and the complication rate was low, despite the small number of patients. More cases must be investigated before the procedure can be recommended in general, possibly replacing the external fixator for the treatment of pelvic ring fractures in the future.
