Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare cost, hospital-related outcomes, and mortality between angioembolization (AE) and preperitoneal pelvic packing (PPP) in the setting of pelvic ring or acetabulum fractures. METHODS . DESIGN Retrospective database review. SETTING National Inpatient Sample, years 2016-2020. PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA Hospitalized adult patients who underwent AE or PPP in the setting of a pelvic ring or acetabulum fracture. OUTCOME MEASURES AND COMPARISONS Mortality and hospital-associated outcomes, including total charges, following AE versus PPP in the setting of pelvic ring or acetabulum fractures. RESULTS A total of 3780 patients, 3620 undergoing AE and 160 undergoing PPP, were included. No significant differences in mortality, length of stay, time to procedure, or discharge disposition were found ( P > 0.05); however, PPP was associated with significantly greater charges than AE ( P = 0.04). Patients who underwent AE had a mean total charge of $250,062.88 while those undergoing PPP had a mean total charge of $369,137.16. CONCLUSIONS Despite equivalent clinical efficacy in terms of mortality and hospital-related outcomes, PPP was associated with significantly greater charges than AE in the setting of pelvic ring or acetabulum fractures. This data information can inform clinical management of these patients and assist trauma centers in resource allocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

A short decision time for transcatheter embolization can better associate mortality in patients with pelvic fracture: a retrospective study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 10:1329167. [PMID: 38259838 PMCID: PMC10800860 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1329167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Early use of hemostasis strategies, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is critical in cases of pelvic injury because of the risk of hemorrhagic shock and other fatal injuries. We investigated the influence of delays in TAE administration on mortality. Methods Patients admitted to the Advanced Critical Care Center at Gifu University with pelvic injury between January 2008 and December 2019, and who underwent acute TAE, were retrospectively enrolled. The time from when the doctor decided to administer TAE to the start of TAE (needling time) was defined as "decision-TAE time." Results We included 158 patients, of whom 23 patients died. The median decision-TAE time was 59.5 min. Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival were compared between patients with decision-TAE time above and below the median cutoff value; survival was significantly better for patients with values below the median cutoff value (p = 0.020). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that the longer the decision-TAE time, the higher the risk of mortality (p = 0.031). TAE duration modified the association between decision-TAE time and overall survival (p = 0.109), as shorter TAE duration (procedure time) was associated with the best survival rate (p for interaction = 0.109). Conclusion Decision-TAE time may play a key role in establishing resuscitation procedures in patients with pelvic fracture, and efforts to shorten this time should be pursued.

Standard practice in the treatment of unstable pelvic ring injuries: an international survey. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2023; 47:2301-2318. [PMID: 37328569 PMCID: PMC10439026 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-023-05859-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Unstable pelvic ring injury can result in a life-threatening situation and lead to long-term disability. Established classification systems, recently emerged resuscitative and treatment options as well as techniques, have facilitated expansion in how these injuries can be studied and managed. This study aims to access practice variation in the management of unstable pelvic injuries around the globe. METHODS A standardized questionnaire including 15 questions was developed by experts from the SICOT trauma committee (Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie) and then distributed among members. The survey was conducted online for one month in 2022 with 358 trauma surgeons, encompassing responses from 80 countries (experience > 5 years = 79%). Topics in the questionnaire included surgical and interventional treatment strategies, classification, staging/reconstruction procedures, and preoperative imaging. Answer options for treatment strategies were ranked on a 4-point rating scale with following options: (1) always (A), (2) often (O), (3) seldom (S), and (4) never (N). Stratification was performed according to geographic regions (continents). RESULTS The Young and Burgess (52%) and Tile/AO (47%) classification systems were commonly used. Preoperative three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans were utilized by 93% of respondents. Rescue screws (RS), C-clamps (CC), angioembolization (AE), and pelvic packing (PP) were observed to be rarely implemented in practice (A + O: RS = 24%, CC = 25%, AE = 21%, PP = 25%). External fixation was the most common method temporized fixation (A + O = 71%). Percutaneous screw fixation was the most common definitive fixation technique (A + O = 57%). In contrast, 3D navigation techniques were rarely utilized (A + O = 15%). Most standards in treatment of unstable pelvic ring injuries are implemented equally across the globe. The greatest differences were observed in augmented techniques to bleeding control, such as angioembolization and REBOA, more commonly used in Europe (both), North America (both), and Oceania (only angioembolization). CONCLUSION The Young-Burgess and Tile/AO classifications are used approximately equally across the world. Initial non-invasive stabilization with binders and temporary external fixation are commonly utilized, while specific haemorrhage control techniques such as pelvic packing and angioembolization are rarely and REBOA almost never considered. The substantial regional differences' impact on outcomes needs to be further explored.

Abstract
Pelvic fractures are common in cases of blunt trauma, which is strongly associated with mortality. Transcatheter arterial embolization is a fundamental treatment strategy for fatal arterial injuries caused by blunt pelvic trauma. However, vascular injuries due to blunt pelvic trauma can show various imaging findings other than arterial hemorrhage. We present a pictorial review of common and uncommon vascular injuries, including active arterial bleeding, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, arterial occlusion, vasospasm, and active venous bleeding. Knowledge of these vascular injuries can help clinicians select the appropriate therapeutic strategy and thus save lives.

Abstract
Asymmetric bilateral hip dislocations are unusually rare injuries in isolation; however, they are even less often associated with unstable pelvic ring injuries. We report a case of asymmetric bilateral hip dislocations with an associated unstable pelvic ring injury and femoral head fracture in a 46-year-old male after being struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian. These injury patterns are typically the result of high-energy trauma, often seen in motor vehicle accidents. A thorough trauma evaluation, including proper radiographic and clinical evaluations, is necessary for the workup of these patients. This case presents an unusual combination of injuries that are associated with severe, potentially life-threatening complications. Ensuring a timely diagnosis and the initiation of early, proper management are essential in preventing poor outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
CLINICAL ISSUE Pelvic arterial bleeding constitutes a potentially life-threatening event, which can be difficult to control with surgical procedures alone, especially in the case of ligamentous ruptures and a subsequently increased pelvic volume. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL PROCEDURES Using angiography and embolization (AE) with resorbable gelatine-based particles or permanent coils, plugs, liquid embolic systems or by vascular stenting, in most cases traumatic pelvic arterial bleeding can be stopped and can also be used to close pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas or dissections. METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND EVALUATION The AE has become established as a fast and effective minimally invasive procedure in the treatment of traumatic pelvic vascular injuries with an advantageous risk-benefit ratio. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS An interdisciplinary approach should be used in the indications for AE; which can be used as definitive treatment as well as in combination with surgical procedures. To improve the clinical outcome any delay between establishing the indications and the start of the intervention must be avoided.
