Abstract
Open-book pelvic fractures are an uncommon orthopedic emergency that requires prompt recognition and treatment. A 37-year-old male was involved in high-energy trauma, resulting in an open-book pelvic fracture with bilateral sacroiliac joint diastasis, bilateral superior and inferior pubic rami fractures, a comminuted sacral fracture, and a traumatic hernia. On presentation, he was hemodynamically unstable, with bruising in the right hemipelvis. Acute treatment included a cervical collar, transfusion protocol, central venous access, and pelvic binder. Trauma and orthopedic services were consulted to manage the patient with an interdisciplinary approach. The patient initially underwent external fixation with concomitant exploratory laparotomy. Definitive treatment concluded with colorectal anastomosis, diverting loop ileostomy creation, abdominal closure, open-reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the pelvis, and removal and reapplication of external fixation.

Surgical treatment outcomes of acetabular posterior wall and posterior column fractures using 3D printing technology and individualized custom-made metal plates: a retrospective study. BMC Surg 2024; 24:157. [PMID: 38755649 PMCID: PMC11097422 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-024-02451-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures involving the posterior acetabulum with its rich vascular and neural supply present challenges in trauma orthopedics. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 3D printing technology with the use of custom-made metal plates in the treatment of posterior wall and column acetabular fractures. METHODS A retrospective analysis included 31 patients undergoing surgical fixation for posterior wall and column fractures of the acetabulum (16 in the 3D printing group, utilizing 3D printing for a 1:1 pelvic model and custom-made plates based on preoperative simulation; 15 in the traditional group, using conventional methods). Surgical and instrument operation times, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, preoperative and 12-month postoperative pain scores (Numeric Rating Scale, NRS), hip joint function at 6 and 12 months (Harris scores), and complications were compared. RESULTS The surgical and instrument operation times were significantly shorter in the 3D printing group (p < 0.001). The 3D printing group exhibited significantly lower intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency and blood loss (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of fracture reduction quality, fracture healing time, preoperative pain scores (NRS scores), and 6-month hip joint function (Harris scores) (p > 0.05). However, at 12 months, hip joint function and pain scores were significantly better in the 3D printing group (p < 0.05). Although the incidence of complications was lower in the 3D printing group (18.8% vs. 33.3%), the difference did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.433). CONCLUSION Combining 3D printing with individualized custom-made metal plates for acetabular posterior wall and column fractures reduces surgery and instrument time, minimizes intraoperative procedures and blood loss, enhancing long-term hip joint function recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hemipelvis reduction in the setting of AO/OTA 61-C1.2 (APC3) pelvic injuries can be challenging. A common strategy is to provisionally reduce or fix the anterior ring prior to definitive fixation of the posterior ring. In this scenario, it is difficult to assess whether residual sacroiliac joint (SIJ) widening is due to hemipelvis flexion/extension or lateral displacement. This simulation sought to identify a radiographic marker for posterior ilium flexion or extension malreduction in the setting of a reduced anterior ring. METHODS Symphyseal and both anterior and posterior SIJ ligaments were cut in 8 cadaveric pelvis. The symphysis was reduced and wired. One centimeter of posterior flexion or extension at the SIJ was created to mimic the clinical scenario of hemipelvis flexion or extension malreduction, and a lateral compressive force was applied. SIJ widening and the direction of anterior or posterior ileal displacement relative to the contralateral joint were assessed via inlet views. SIJ widening and the direction of cranial or caudal ileal displacement were assessed using outlet views. Comparisons between flexion and extension models used Fisher's exact test. RESULTS On outlet views, all flexed hemipelvis demonstrated caudal ileal translation at the superior SIJ, in contrast to all extended hemipelvis demonstrated cranial translation (p < 0.0005); the scenarios were easily distinguishable. Conversely, inlet imaging was unable to identify the direction of malreduction. Flexion/extension scenarios resulted in similar amounts of SIJ widening. CONCLUSION Residual flexion and extension hemipelvis malreductions in APC3 injuries after provisional anterior fixation can be differentiated by the direction of ileal displacement at the superior SIJ on the outlet view.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) management needs adequate facilities and human resources. However, the prehospital ambulance management role in Indonesia is insufficient. Many hospitals have limited resources that necessitate patients to be referred to higher trauma centers. This study aims to describe the state of PRFs management at a level 1 trauma center in limited-resource country. METHODS We conducted retrospective studies of PRFs management from 2011 to 2021 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. We analyzed patient's management flow from injury, referral process, initial to definitive treatment, mortality, and Majeed functional score. RESULTS From 109 patients, 30.3% were non-referrals that came without ambulance, while 69.7% were referrals using an ambulance. All non-referral patients came without pelvic binder with 54.5% unstable hemodynamic, while 35.5% of the referrals came with unstable hemodynamic and 72.4% had pelvic binder. Median time for non-referrals reaching our hospital is 12.5 h. Unlike local referrals, 75% of regional and 85.7% of national referrals general improvement had to be improved before being referred. Polytrauma cases were 33.9% with 12 days mean interval to definitive treatment. Mortality rate in this study was 13.8%. During post-operative follow-up with a mean of 4 years, 83% of patients could be followed up and reported 93 median Majeed score. CONCLUSION The management of PRFs at level 1 trauma center in limited-resource country shows a mortality rate of 13.8% through various limitations such as unimplemented ambulance prehospital management, number of patients who were referred without pelvic binder applied, and the long waiting interval for definitive treatment.

Abstract
Background Data on the functional outcomes of patients with open pelvic fractures after osteosynthesis are limited, and whether open fracture is a risk factor for worse outcomes, as compared with closed fracture, remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the functional outcomes of patients with open and closed pelvic fractures and evaluate potential factors that might affect outcomes. Methods Overall, 19 consecutive patients with open pelvic fractures and 78 patients with closed pelvic fractures between January 2014 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All fractures were surgically treated, with a minimal follow-up period of three years. Patients’ demographic profile, associated injuries, management protocol, quality of reduction, and outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Results Patients with open pelvic fractures had higher new injury severity score, higher incidence of diverting colostomy, and longer length of stay. Both radiological and functional evaluations revealed no significant differences between the two groups at 1-year and 3-year evaluations. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified poor radiological outcomes (using Lefaivre criteria) and longer length of stay as risk factors for worse short-term functional outcomes. At 3-year evaluation, fair-to-poor radiological outcomes (using Matta/Tornetta and Lefaivre criteria) and the presence of diverting colostomy were potential risk factors. Conclusions Compared with closed pelvic fracture, open pelvic fracture was not an indicator of worse functional outcomes. Functional outcomes may be comparable between patients with open and closed pelvic fractures at different time points within three years postoperatively. Achieving anatomical reduction in a fracture is crucial, because it might affect patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pelvic fractures cause significant morbidity in the trauma population. Many factors influence time to fracture fixation. No previous study has determined the optimal time window for pelvic fixation. METHODS A retrospective review of trauma patients with pelvic fractures from 2016 to 2020 was performed. Patients were stratified into EARLY and LATE groups, by time to fixation within 3 days or greater than 3 days whether from admission or from completion of a life-saving procedure. Unpaired Student's t-test and Fisher's exact test were performed with multiple linear regression for variables with P < .2 on univariate analysis. RESULTS 287 patients were identified with a median fixation time of 3 days. There was no significant difference in demographics, incidence of preceding life-saving procedure, angioembolization, or mechanism of injury in the 2 groups (P > .05). Length of stay in the EARLY group was significantly reduced at 11.9 +/- .7 days compared to 18.0 +/-1.2 days in the LATE group (P < .001). There was no significant difference in rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), acute kidney injury (AKI), pressure ulcer, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (P > .05). There were significantly more SSIs (surgical site infections) in the LATE group. After multiple linear regression adjusting for covariates of age and ISS, the difference in hospital LOS was 5.5 days (95% CI -8.0 to -3.1, P < .001). DISCUSSION Fixation of traumatic pelvic fractures within 3 days reduced LOS. Prospective multi-center studies will help identify additional factors to decrease time to surgery and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
A comprehensive rehabilitation program is required after Pelvic Fracture (PF). In a PF rehabilitation setting an effective treatment and a proper management of complications is supplied by an appropriate and reliable clinical assessment. In this literature-based update, we search on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews to find articles, scientific society guidelines and practioners experiences defining the rehabilitative management of clinically PF outcomes. Based on literature evidences and expert opinions, a set of key topics was collated to generate advices and recommendations to put into daily practice. Even if there are no high-quality evidence for rehabilitative interventions after PF in terms of duration and modality of therapy, rehabilitation setting, care pathways, and long-term functional outcomes, it is strongly recommended an early multidisciplinary intervention to improve recovery from PF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of serious morbidity and mortality. While chemoprophylaxis decreases VTE, there is the theoretical risk of increased hemorrhagic complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative anticoagulation on VTE and bleeding complications in patients with blunt pelvic fractures requiring operative fixation. METHODS Patients with blunt pelvic fractures requiring operative fixation over 10.5 years were identified. Patients were stratified by age, severity of shock, operative management, and timing and duration of anticoagulation. Outcomes were evaluated to determine risk factors for bleeding complications and VTE. RESULTS 310 patients were identified: 212 patients received at least one dose of preoperative anticoagulation and 98 received no preoperative anticoagulation. 68% were male with a mean injury severity score and Glasgow Coma Scale of 26 and 13, respectively. Bleeding complications occurred in 24 patients and 21 patients suffered VTE. Patients with VTE had a greater initial severity of shock (resuscitation transfusions, 4 vs. 2 units, P = .02). Despite longer time to mobilization (4 vs. 3 days, P = .001), patients who received their scheduled preoperative doses within 48 hours of arrival had no significant differences in the number of deep vein thrombosis events (5.2% vs. 5.7%, P = .99), but fewer episodes of pulmonary embolism (PE) (1.5% vs. 6.8%, P = .03) with no difference in bleeding complications (7.5% vs. 8%, P = .87) compared to either patients who had their doses held until after 48 hours of arrival or received no preoperative anticoagulation. DISCUSSION Preoperative anticoagulation prior to pelvic fixation reduced the risk of PE without increasing bleeding complications. Preoperative anticoagulation is safe and beneficial in this group of patients.

Abstract
Displaced pelvic ring injuries can be challenging to even the experienced orthopedic traumatologist. A temporary external fixation to table construct provides a quick, simple, and accessible means of external skeletal fixation to reliably obtain and maintain stable hemipelvis reduction on the operating room table. The contralateral hemipelvis can be stabilized to the table by use of Steinman pins safely inserted into the subtrochanteric and anterior column regions and later connected to external fixator bars attached to the table. With rigid stabilization, the displaced contralateral pelvic fragment(s) can be reduced in a more vector intentional manner with greater force than the traditional means of pelvic reduction can allow. The skeletal-table fixation technique is presented along with two cases, a combined pelvic-acetabular injury and an isolated pelvic ring injury.

Abstract
We present a case of a 32-y-old male professional surfer who sustained an isolated pelvic ring fracture after wiping out on a large wave and striking the ocean floor during a world championship tour surfing competition in Hawaii. The surfer was rescued by the water patrol lifeguards, evaluated by onsite medical staff, and stabilized for transfer and subsequent surgical management. As surfing and surfing competitions become increasingly popular, medical staff and event organizers must be aware of the possibility for severe, life-threatening injuries during surfing events. Although infrequent, staff must be prepared to manage these injuries, including immediate resuscitation, stabilization, analgesia, and transfer to definitive care. We hope this case encourages not only surf event organizers and medical staff, but also staff of all professional and recreational water sports, to increase their preparedness to stabilize and treat both life-threatening and minor injuries. Expeditious and appropriate treatment of an injured athlete has the potential to decrease morbidity and mortality while maximizing the athletes' functional outcome after injury.

[PMID: 29675632 PMCID: PMC6132923 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-018-2203-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2018] [Accepted: 04/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
AIM Factors affecting mortality during the first year following high-energy pelvic fractures has not been reported previously. Nor has surgical complications leading to reoperations been reported in a cohort with only high-energy pelvic trauma patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to report and analyse factors affecting outcome, in terms of mortality and reoperations, up to 1 year after the injury in patients with a traumatic pelvic ring injury due to a high-energy trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from the SweTrau (Swedish National Trauma Registry) on patients admitted to the Trauma Centre Karolinska in Stockholm, Sweden, were collected. Inclusion criteria were adults (age ≥ 18), trauma with a high-energy mechanism, alive on arrival, Swedish personal identification number, reported pelvic fracture on CT scan. Patient records and radiographies were reviewed. The study period was 2011-2015 with 1-year follow-up time. Univariate and regression analysis on factors affecting mortality was performed. Risk of reoperation was analysed using univariate and case-by-case analysis. RESULTS We included 385 cases with mean age 47.5 ± 20.6 years (38% females): 317 pelvic fractures, 48 acetabular fractures and 20 combined injuries. Thirty-day mortality was 8% (30/385), and 1-year mortality was 9% (36/385). The main cause of death at 1 year was traumatic brain injury (14/36) followed by high age (> 70) with extensive comorbidities (8/36). Intentional fall from high altitude (OR 6, CI 2-17), GCS < 8 (OR 12, CI 5-33) and age > 70 (OR 17, CI 6-51) were factors predicting mortality. Thirty patients (22%, 30/134) were further reoperated due to hardware-related (n = 18) or non-hardware-related complications (n = 12). Hardware-related complications included: mal-placed screws (n = 7), mal-placed plate (n = 1), implant failure (n = 6), or mechanical irritation from the implant (n = 4). Non-hardware-related reasons for reoperations were: infection (n = 10), skin necrosis (n = 1), or THR due to post-traumatic osteoarthritis (n = 1). CONCLUSION Non-survivors in our study died mainly because of traumatic brain injury or high age with extensive comorbidities. Most of the mortalities occurred early. Intentional injuries and especially intentional falls from high altitude had high mortality rate. Reoperation frequency was high, and several of the hardware-related complications could potentially have been avoided.

Abstract
Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) management in male adults and children is controversial. The jury is still out on the best way to manage these injuries in the short and long-term to minimise complications and optimise outcomes. There is also little in the urological literature about pelvic fractures themselves, their causes, grading systems, associated injuries and the mechanism of PFUI. A review of pelvic fracture and male PFUI literature since 1757 was performed to determine pelvic fracture classification, associated injuries and, PFUI classification and management. The outcomes of; suprapubic catheter (SPC) insertion alone, primary open surgical repair (POSR), delayed primary open surgical repair (DPOSR), primary open realignment (POR), primary endoscopic realignment (PER), delayed endoscopic treatment (DET) and delayed urethroplasty (DU) in male adults and children in all major series have been reviewed and collated for rates of restricture (RS), erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI). For SPC, POSR, DPOSR, POR, PER, DET and DU; (I) mean RS rate was 97.9%, 53.9%, 18%, 58.3%, 62.0%, 80.2%, 14.4%; (II) mean ED rate was 25.6%, 22.5%, 71%, 37.2%, 23.6%, 31.9%, 12.7%; (III) mean UI rate was 6.7%, 13.6%, 0%, 14.5%, 4.1%, 4.1%, 6.8%; (IV) mean FU in months was 46.3, 29.4, 12, 61, 31.4, 31.8, 54.9. For males with PFUI restricture and new onset ED is lowest following DU whilst UI is lowest following DPOSR. On balance DU offers the best overall outcomes and should be the treatment of choice for PFUI.
