Assessment of Treatment Variability for Pelvic Ring Fragility Fractures (Pelvis ATV)
SUMMARY Fragility fractures of the pelvic ring are a common injury that is increasing in incidence with an aging population. These injuries are associated with high healthcare costs and poor patient outcomes, including decline in ambulatory function, decreased independence, and a one-year mortality of 11-27%. Historically, older adults with fragility fractures of the pelvis received nonoperative treatment with supportive care because operative management was deemed too invasive for this patient population. However, the development of percutaneous and less invasive surgical techniques has led to an increased frequency of operative stabilization of pelvis fractures in older adults. It is…
