Low-energy lateral compression type 1 (LC1) pelvic ring fractures in the middle-aged and elderly affect hospital quality measures and functional outcomes.
Nina D FisherSara J SolaszAssefa TensaeSanjit R KondaKenneth A EgolPublished in: European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie (2021)
Patients admitted for LC1 pelvic fractures are likely to be older with more medical co-morbidities, and up to 1/5th will experience inpatient complications. Although inpatient mortality remains low, this injury pattern can lead to significant functional disability that persists for several years after injury.
