Objectives: To determine factors associated with nerve injury after acetabulum fracture and to evaluate recovery outcomes. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Level 1 trauma center. Patients Participants: Nine hundred seventy-five skeletally mature patients fracture. Intervention: Operative nonoperative management. Main Outcome Measurements: Nerve injuries, categorized as traumatic or iatrogenic, (none, partial, complete), patient-reported functional outcomes the Musculoskeletal...
Among elderly patients, anterior column posterior hemitransverse (ACPHT) and associated both (ABC) are common acetabular fracture patterns after low-energy mechanisms. Given the paucity of outcomes data in this cohort, goal study was to determine favorability results with surgical versus nonsurgical management. Secondarily, factors linked poor functional were assessed.Over a 16-year period, 81 patients aged ≥60 years 82 ACPHT ABC fractures evaluated. Retrospectively, patient demographics,...
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor of infection. Although DM has been associated with worse functional outcomes after acetabular fracture, literature regarding the effect on surgical site infection and other early complications lacking. Methods: A 20-year registry from level 1 trauma center was queried to identify 134 patients 345 nondiabetic fractures. Results: The diabetic patient population older (57.2 versus 43.2; P < 0.001) had higher average body mass index (33.6...
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to determine the rate failure hip joint after acetabulum fracture and identify risk factors. Methods: Acetabulum fractures treated over 17 years at a level-1 trauma center reviewed. Patient, injury, treatment factors assessed regarding possible association with joint: end-stage arthrosis and/or total arthroplasty (THA). Results: Seventy percent primary open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Seventy-two (12.5%) 575 underwent THA; 64 initial ORIF....
Health literacy is often poor among trauma patients. We introduced an educational mobile application to newly injured hypothesized that patients who utilized the app would be more informed about their injury and treatment recommendations, users demonstrate greater adherence recommendations.Prospective, cohort study.Level 1 centerPatients/participants: Adult with acute orthopaedic injury.App information injuries, treatment, recovery. bit.ly/traumaapp.Survey regarding knowledge...
No guidelines exist for recommending return to driving. This study will examine time brake (TTB) after lower extremity injuries versus in uninjured people. The potential effect of various types on TTB be measured.Patients with the pelvis, hip, femur, knee, tibia, ankle, and foot underwent testing using a driving simulator assess TTB. Comparison was control group people.Two-hundred thirty-two patients participated. majority were tibia ankle regions (47%). Mean subjects 0.74 seconds, compared...
Acetabular fractures among the elderly are common. Identification of risk factors predisposing patients to in-hospital complications is critical mitigating morbidity and mortality.A retrospective cohort study was performed including 195 ≥60 years old who sustained acetabulum treated at a single level 1 trauma center. Operative (n=110, 56.4%) or non-operative management undertaken, during index hospitalization were defined.Seventy-three (37%) developed complication their hospitalization. Most...
The purposes of this project were to evaluate functional outcomes more than 5 years after acetabulum fracture and determine factors related function.This retrospective study consisted 205 adult patients treated for who completed the Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (MFA) a minimum following injury. MFA includes survey daily activities, gross fine mobility, social work function, sleeping, mood. Higher scores indicate worse function.Two hundred five with 210 fractures, 69.3% whom male, mean...
The purpose of this study was to describe the practice postmobilization radiography after lateral compression type 1 pelvis ring injury. We hypothesized that radiographs would be more frequent over time and not influence treatment.
