Demographic epidemiology of unstable pelvic fracture in the United States from 2000 to 2009

Abstract

Epidemiologic study, level III.

Complications of pelvic ring fixation in patients requiring laparotomy

“…Pelvic fractures are recognized as a serious injury that are associated with high rates of mortality and injury to other organ systems [1,10,11] The considerable forces taken to fracture the pelvis are transferred to other parts of the body that often result in serious injuries. Often these individuals have associated intra-abdominal trauma that requires exploratory laparotomy to delineate and repair those injuries [12].…”

Rehabilitation Traumatology: A Narrative Review

“…The timeline of functional recovery from pelvic fractures is poorly defined. Patients typically have a non−weight‐bearing period of up to 8 weeks [63].…”

Preliminary biomechanical results of a novel pin configuration for external fixation of vertical shear pelvic fractures

“…Vertical shear fractures are uncommon pelvic injuries that occur from axial loading of the hemipelvis . The resultant force displaces the hemipelvis cranially resulting in both anterior and posterior ring injuries.…”
