Outcome after pelvic ring fractures: evaluation using the medical outcomes short form SF-36

Health-related quality of life and life satisfaction in patients following surgically treated pelvic ring fractures. A prospective observational study with two years follow-up

“…SF-36 has not been used to a large extent in pelvic fracture patients. But in the study by Oliver et al, 14 a case series consisting of pelvic fracture patients were followed for 16-28 months. Using the SF-36 administered as a postal questionnaire, they showed that in 35 responders out of 55 eligible patients, there was 14% impairment in physical outcome and 5.5% impairment in mental outcome score when compared with the normal US population.…”

“…[8][9][10]12,17 For instance, it has been shown that an adequate reduction of any posterior displacement is associated with less pain compared with pelvic fractures or disruptions with persistent malreduction of the posterior part, leading to a malunion. 14 To get a better global understanding of the outcome following various injuries and diseases, studies including patient-reported outcome have in recent years provided new and valuable insights. For patients treated with surgery due to pelvic fractures, however, there is only very limited information available on the outcome using patient-reported outcome instruments.…”

“…For patients treated with surgery due to pelvic fractures, however, there is only very limited information available on the outcome using patient-reported outcome instruments. 6,14 This is despite the fact that pelvic fractures are usually severe injuries, often in younger people, and commonly associated with other injuries. With this in mind there is reason to believe that these injuries might have long-term consequences on general health-related quality of life.…”

Minimally invasive stabilisation of posterior pelvic-ring instabilities with a transiliac locked compression plate

“…However, SI screw fixation is demanding, and concerns have been raised regarding iatrogenic injuries to neurovascular structures [7]. Furthermore, a substantial number of patients continue to suffer chronic posterior pelvic pain despite near anatomical reductions [18,19,25]. Minimally invasive transiliac plate osteosynthesis may be an alternative to SI screw fixation and appears to be biomechanically comparable [1,29].…”

Pelvis ve asetabulum kırıklarında kaynamama

“…Yine, sakrum kırıkları sıklıkla ihmal edildiğinden dolayı ağrı kaynağı olabilir. [12] Anterior pelvik bölgede ihmal edilmiş kırıklarına bağ-lı kaynamama daha az ağrıya neden olur. Bu nedenle tanı koymak daha zordur.…”
