Association of Pelvic Trauma With Rates of Cesarean Section, Sexual Dysfunction, and Genitourinary Dysfunction in a National Database.

Pelvic fractures confer an intrinsic level of risk of C-section, SD, and urinary retention that is elevated beyond what would be expected from a traumatic lower extremity injury alone. Treating orthopaedic surgeons should actively counsel women regarding increased risks, openly discuss postinjury sequelae, and coordinate interspecialty care beyond initial treatment of acute trauma.
