the functional outcome of surgically treated unstable pelvic ring fractures by open reduction, internal fixation

abstract background: unstable pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. the mode of fixation in unstable pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. this stu...

The outcome of surgically treated traumatic unstable pelvic fractures by open reduction and internal fixation

BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate functional and radiological results of pelvic ring fractures treatment by open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Thirty eight patients with unstable pelvic fractures, treated from 2002 to 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. The mean patients' age was 37 years (range 20 to 67). Twenty six patients were men (4 patients with type B and 22 pa...

Functional outcome of internal fixation for pelvic ring fractures.

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the functional outcome after unstable pelvic ring fractures stabilized with internal fixation. METHODS Between January 1, 1990, and September 1, 1997, 37 patients were treated with internal fixation for unstable pelvic fracture. Demographic data, type of accident, Hospital Trauma Index-Injury Severity Score, and fracture type according to Tile classification were score...

Patient related functional outcome of glenoid rim fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate patient related outcome and shoulder stability following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with glenoid rim fractures. After a median follow-up of four years, 14 patients completed the Rowe Shoulder Stability Score and Quick DASH questionnaire. The median Rowe score was 90 (Q1: 88, Q3: 100). Results were graded excellent in 11 patients...
