Kurzfassung

Pelvic ring lesions are rare, with an incidence between 0,3 – 8.2% of all fractures. In recent years many data were published on treatment results of pelvic ring injuries. Most publications use the Tile classification in which pelvic ring fractures are distinguished into three categories. B-type lesions are defined as partially rotationally unstable. There are obvious differences in outcome between B- and C-type injuries and the outcome of open book lesions (type B1) is similar to that of...Pelvic ring lesions are rare, with an incidence between 0,3 – 8.2% of all fractures. In recent years many data were published on treatment results of pelvic ring injuries. Most publications use the Tile classification in which pelvic ring fractures are distinguished into three categories. B-type lesions are defined as partially rotationally unstable. There are obvious differences in outcome between B- and C-type injuries and the outcome of open book lesions (type B1) is similar to that of vertically unstable lesions. Our objective was to analyze specific characteristics of open book pelvic lesions such as injury pattern, surgical therapy, radiological results and long-term functional outcome. » weiterlesen» einklappen
