Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Since May 2010 the Department of Trauma, Basel University Hospital has performed surgical stabilisation of the posterior pelvic ring on 55 patients. These patients have not received a structured follow up examination or evaluation of outcome after surgery.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Follow-up

Patients have not received a structured follow up examination or evaluation of outcome after surgery. Therefore this study aims at conducting a follow up examination regarding functional outcome, pain and radiologic healing in these patients.

Group Type OTHER

Outcome after surgery

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Functional outcome after surgical treatment of pelvic ring fractures Measurements: TUG-test score, ADLs index, maximal pain (VAS 1-10) at rest and experienced during TUG-test. One-year mortality, signs of healing, dislocation or other complications on anterior-posterior radiographs of the pelvis, living situation before and after the injury (at home/institutional placement)

Outcome after surgery

Functional outcome after surgical treatment of pelvic ring fractures Measurements: TUG-test score, ADLs index, maximal pain (VAS 1-10) at rest and experienced during TUG-test. One-year mortality, signs of healing, dislocation or other complications on anterior-posterior radiographs of the pelvis, living situation before and after the injury (at home/institutional placement)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Elderly patients (age ≥55y ears) of any ethnic / sociodemographic background
* Pelvic ring fracture after low energy trauma affecting the posterior ring or both (posterior and anterior ring)
* Surgical stabilisation of the pelvic ring at Basel University Hospital between May 2010 and December 2014
* Ambulatory before surgery
* Informed consent for study participation by the patient or legal representatives

Exclusion Criteria

* Refusal of consent by the patient or legal representatives to participate in the study
* Fractures within the last 3 months before follow-up
* Suspicion of a pathological fracture in the context of known or unknown malignancy
* Symptomatic low back pain with morphological changes, i.e. intervertebral disc displacement, neoplasm metastasis in the axial skeleton, spinal stenosis, vertebral fracture, spondylarthropathy etc.
* Pre-trauma mobility status that precludes achieving a post-trauma mobility status enabling the patient to perform the timed up and go test (e.g. patient in a wheel chair)
