Assessment of Treatment Variability for Pelvic Ring Fragility Fractures
Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore
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.
