Assessment of Treatment Variability for Pelvic Ring Fragility Fractures

NCT07351123 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 120

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Fragility fractures of the pelvic ring are a common injury associated with poor patient outcomes and high healthcare costs. Management of these injuries is evolving with increasing frequency of operative stabilization of the pelvic ring, despite a lack of evidence supporting operative versus nonoperative treatment. This multicenter prospective cohort study will evaluate 120 patients to determine the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial comparing operative and nonoperative treatment, by evaluating patient willingness to enroll in a trial, surgeon willingness to randomize their patients' treatment, and the completeness of data collection.

Conditions

  • Pelvic Fractures
  • Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis (FFP)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgical stabilization of pelvic fracture

Surgical stabilization of pelvic fracture through placement of orthopaedic hardware.

OTHER

Closed treatment of pelvic fracture

Pelvic fracture that is treated without surgery and assessed over time through interval radiographs until fracture is healed.
