【 摘 要 】

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of anterior pelvic ring fixation alone for treating lateral compression type 1 (LC-1) fractures with nondisplaced complete sacral fractures.MethodsPatients with LC-1 type pelvic fractures with nondisplaced complete sacral fractures in the Xi’an Honghui Hospital were screened. Those who underwent surgical treatment for the anterior pelvic ring fractures and conservative treatment for the sacral factures were included in the analysis. The Majeed and Short Form-12 (SF-12) functional scores were used to evaluate these patients.ResultsOf the 123 patients enrolled, 108 (88%) responded to our enquiries regarding the outcome. The mean follow-up period was 18.37 months for the 108 patients who responded. The mean SF-12 functional score was 48.22 ± 9.68. The mean Majeed score was 83.47 ± 9.23, including 52 with excellent, 47 with good, seven with fair, two with poor outcomes. The SF-12 functional and Majeed scores were significantly higher in those aged <45 years or without lower limb injury than in those aged ≥45 years or with lower limb injury (P < 0.05).ConclusionAcceptable functional outcomes can be obtained for LC-1 pelvic fractures with nondisplaced complete sacral fractures by using anterior pelvic ring fixation alone.
