Pelvic fractures in children.

I Torode, D Zieg

    Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study on pelvis fractures found type IV fractures, indicating segmental instability, had the highest morbidity and mortality. A new classification correlates fracture type, associated injuries, and outcomes, guiding treatment for complex pelvic injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Pelvic fractures are severe injuries often associated with multiple trauma.
    • Understanding fracture patterns and associated injuries is crucial for predicting outcomes.
    • Existing classifications may not fully capture the complexity of pelvic fractures and their impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze outcomes of multiple trauma patients with pelvic fractures.
    • To develop a classification system correlating pelvic fracture type, associated injuries, and patient outcomes.
    • To guide treatment strategies for complex pelvic fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 141 patients with multiple injuries including pelvic fractures.
    • Analysis of injury mode, fracture type, associated injuries, morbidity, mortality, and outcomes.
    • Clinical review of 130 patients post-fracture healing.

    Main Results:

    • A new classification system was derived, showing correlation between pelvic fracture type, associated injuries, and outcomes.
    • Type IV fractures, characterized by segmental pelvic instability, exhibited the highest morbidity, mortality, and complications.
    • Computed tomographic (CT) scanning is recommended for suspected segmental instability or difficult radiographic assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived classification aids in predicting outcomes for pelvic fractures.
    • Segmental pelvic instability (Type IV) represents a high-risk injury pattern.
    • Specific treatments are recommended: open reduction for acetabular disruption and external fixation for uncontrollable segmental instability.
