The mortality associated with pelvic fractures.

D A Rothenberger, R P Fischer, R G Strate

    Surgery
    |September 1, 1978

    Summary

    Pelvic fractures cause significant mortality, especially in pedestrian accidents. Ineffective hemorrhage control and sepsis prevention are key factors in deaths directly related to pelvic fractures.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Pelvic fractures are associated with high mortality rates.
    • Pedestrian accidents are a significant cause of pelvic fractures and related deaths.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze mortality patterns in patients with pelvic fractures.
    • To identify primary causes of death and risk factors associated with pelvic fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 604 patients with pelvic fractures.
    • Analysis of mortality, etiology, injury patterns, and causes of death.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 12%. Pedestrian accidents accounted for 49% of deaths.
    • Pelvic fractures were the primary cause of death in 26 patients, often due to hemorrhage (69%) or sepsis/renal failure.
    • Open pelvic fractures and pelvic vessel disruptions significantly increased mortality risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemorrhage and sepsis are critical complications of pelvic fractures.
    • Effective hemorrhage control and sepsis management are crucial for improving survival rates in pelvic fracture patients.
