Geriatric Lateral Compression 1 Pelvic Fractures
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lateral Compression 1 Pelvic Fracture
In brief
Lateral compression-1 (LC1) pelvic ring fragility fractures cause significant pain and morbidity. These fragility injuries are associated with prolonged immobility and long hospital stays. Currently there is no consensus on operative stabilization of LC1 pelvic fractures, nor are there evidence-based guidelines to aid in management of these injury types. Furthermore, there is variability in operative indications, improvement in pain and mobilization. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous screw fixation to non-operative management in symptomatic LC1 fragility fractures in elderly patients.

Who can join
Age: 60 and older, up to 100. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Patients >/= 60 years of age
- Lateral compression 1 pelvic ring fractures confirmed with plain radiographs, CT and/or MRI
- Low energy mechanism of injury or an insufficiency fracture without a precipitating event
- Acute injury within four weeks of presentation
- Inability or significant pain to mobilize with physical therapy assistance for 48 hours: Significant pain as determined by a pain score ≥ 7 with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after a Timed "Up \& Go" (TUG) assessment, or inability to complete the TUG assessment.
You may not qualify if…
- Dementia
- Vertically or rotationally unstable pelvic ring injuries
- Pathologic fracture secondary to tumor
- Non-ambulatory prior to injury
- Acute neurologic deficit
- High-energy mechanism of injury
- Concomitant injuries affecting ambulation
- Presence of another injury or medical condition that prevents ambulation
- Presence of implant or sacral morphology that prevents percutaneous sacral fixation
- Enrollment in another research study the precludes co-enrollment
- Likely problems, in the judgement of the investigators, with maintaining follow-up (i.e. patients with no fixed address, etc.)
- Incarcerated or pending incarceration
