Study summary

Pelvic ring fractures are common and often the result of high energy trauma but also sometimes of lower energy trauma in older patients. A good classification and description of the fracture is essential to the choice of treatment.

The classifications used to describe these fractures are numerous (Tile modified AO, Young and Burgess, Letournel, Rommens) and of a descriptive order more or less depending on the lesion mechanism allowing some to orient the surgical reduction technique. However, none of them helps with the choice of surgical or functional treatment, which is currently based on obvious notions of instability and / or displacement of lesions and, by habit, all different services.

In addition, the complexity of these classifications leads to poor reproducibility of these.

A new method for analyzing unitary lesions has been developed in the Orthopedic Surgery department of the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group with a rating system which determines the indication according to the score.

Teaching this new method of analyzing pelvic ring fractures would simplify decision making between surgical and functional treatment.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients with pelvic ring fractures

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. State of play of the decision for surgical sanction of pelvic ring fractures

    This corresponds to the number of patients for whom surgical decisions have been made.

    Time frame: Day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Impact of the teaching of the new method of analysis on the surgical decision within each group

    This corresponds to the number of files for which surgical decision-making was modified before and after teaching of the new method of analysis.

    Time frame: Day 1

  2. Reproducibility of this intra and inter-group decision before and after teaching

    This corresponds to the number of files for which surgical decision-making was modified before and after teaching of the new method of analysis in intra and inter-group.

    Time frame: Day 1
