Pelvis RCT: Impact of Surgery on Pain in Lateral Compression Type Pelvic Fractures

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: LC Pelvic Fracture

In brief

Lateral compression type pelvic ring injuries remain the most common type of pelvic fractures encountered. There is a substantial amount of controversy surrounding the treatment of these injuries and there is evidence that both operative and non-operative treatment can be successful.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 80. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• The patient has one of the following pelvic fractures (includes bilateral sacral fractures): Lateral compression type 1, Lateral compression type 2, Lateral compression type 3
• The patient is between 18 and 80 years of age, inclusive
• The patient has reached skeletal maturity
• The patient's pelvic fracture is a result of trauma (includes polytraumatized patients)
• The patient/family/guardian is English-speaking
• The patient's surgeon agrees to randomization (the patient is amendable to either operative or non-operative treatment)
• Patient enrollment and, if applicable, patient randomization can occur within 96 hours post injury

You may not qualify if…

• The patient has prior surgical hardware in place that precludes intervention
• The patient's pelvic fracture is classified as a Lateral compression type 1 and the associated sacral fracture is incomplete as indicated by failure to violate both the anterior and posterior cortex
• The patient received prior surgical intervention for his/her current pelvic injury
• The patient has sacral morphology that precludes percutaneous fixation
• The patient is non-ambulatory due to an associated spinal cord injury
• The patient was non-ambulatory pre-injury
• The patient is currently pregnant
• The patient is enrolled in another research study that does not allow co-enrollment
• The patient is likely to have severe problems with maintaining follow-up
