RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Orthogeriatric co-management (OGCM) addresses the special needs of geriatric fracture patients. Most of the research on OGCM focused on hip fractures while results concerning other severe fractures are rare. We conducted a health-economic evaluation of OGCM for pelvic and vertebral fractures. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we used German health and long-term care insurance claims data and included cases of geriatric patients aged 80 years or older treated in an OGCM (OGCM group) or a non-OGCM hospital (non-OGCM group) due to pelvic or vertebral fractures in 2014-2018. We analyzed life years gained, fracture-free life years gained, healthcare costs, and cost-effectiveness within 1 year. We applied entropy balancing, weighted gamma and two-part models. We calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves. RESULTS: We included 21,036 cases with pelvic (71.2% in the OGCM, 28.8% in the non-OGCM group) and 33,827 with vertebral fractures (72.8% OGCM, 27.2% non-OGCM group). 4.5-5.9% of the pelvic and 31.8-33.8% of the vertebral fracture cases were treated surgically. Total healthcare costs were significantly higher after treatment in OGCM compared to non-OGCM hospitals for both fracture cohorts. For both fracture cohorts, a 95% probability of cost-effectiveness was not exceeded for a willingness-to-pay of up to 150,000 per life year or 150,000 per fracture-free life year gained. CONCLUSION: We did not obtain distinct benefits of treatment in an OGCM hospital. Assigning cases to OGCM or non-OGCM group on hospital level might have underestimated the effect of OGCM as not all patients in the OGCM group have received OGCM.

BACKGROUND: The Internal Fixator (INFIX) is a popular method, known for its minimal invasiveness and short operation time, for treating anterior pelvic ring fractures. Studies have shown that postoperative complications may occur, including anterolateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, the femoral nerve paralysis, and delayed fracture healing. These complications are believed to be related to surgical stimulation, an excessively long lateral end of the connecting rod, a small distance between the screw and bone surface, insufficient pre-bending of the connecting rod, and difficulties in fracture reduction. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two unique cases of lower abdominal pseudocyst complicated with suspected infection after INFIX treatment of pelvic fractures at our trauma center. Following surgical removal of the internal fixation, resolution of the cysts was observed in both patients, and subsequent postoperative follow-up revealed the absence of any residual sequelae. These cases have not been reported in previous literature reviews. DISCUSSION: The lower abdominal cysts, potentially arising from the dead space created during intraoperative placement of the INFIX rod, may increase infection risk. The etiology remains uncertain, despite the presence of abnormal inflammation markers in both cases, and staphylococcus aureus found in one. These cysts were confined to the lower abdomen, not involving the internal fixation, and hence, only the INFIX was removed. Postoperative oral cefazolin treatment was successful, with resolved pseudocysts and no subsequent discomfort. CONCLUSION: We report two unprecedented cases of post-INFIX abdominal cysts, with a suspected link to intraoperative dead space. Despite uncertain etiology, successful management involved INFIX removal and oral cefixime therapy. These findings necessitate further exploration into the causes and management of such complications.

Surgical fixation of pediatric pelvic ring injuries is gaining popularity to avoid the poor long-term outcomes of pelvic asymmetry. The surgical techniques and fixation choices depend on the individual injuries affecting the anterior and posterior pelvic ring areas. The immature bony pelvis of young children has anatomic differences including soft bones, elastic ligaments, and the presence of growth centers. Understanding the unique pediatric lesions with unstable pelvic fractures is essential for treatment decisions. Anterior lesions include pubic symphysis disruption through the pubic apophysis, single ramus fractures, pubic rami fractures through the triradiate cartilage, and/or the ischiopubic synchondrosis; ischiopubic ramus infolding injury; or the unstable superior and inferior quadrant lesions. Posterior pelvic lesions include iliac wing infolding and sacroiliac joint dislocation or transiliac (crescent) fracture/dislocations through the iliac apophysis growth plate. Pubic symphysis and sacroiliac disruptions are physeal injuries in children, and they have excellent healing potential. External fixation is an ideal choice for anterior ring fixation including bony and pubic symphysis injuries. Posterior lesions are mostly sacroiliac joint disruptions with iliac apophysis separation that can serve as a landmark for vertical displacement correction. Posterior lesions can be treated by percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation or open reduction techniques.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the effectiveness of an updated protocol that increased the transfusion threshold to perform preperitoneal pelvic packing in patients with pelvic ring injuries and hemodynamic instability (HDI). DESIGN: Retrospective review. SETTING: Urban level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS SELECTION CRITERIA: Severely injured (injury severity score > 15) patients with pelvic ring injuries treated before and after increasing the threshold to perform preperitoneal pelvic packing from 2 to 4 units of red blood cells (RBCs). HDI was defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg. OUTCOME MEASURES AND COMPARISONS: Mortality from hemorrhage, anterior pelvic space infections, and venous thromboembolisms before and after increasing preperitoneal pelvic packing threshold. RESULTS: One hundred sixty-six patients were included: 93 treated under the historical protocol and 73 treated under the updated protocol. HDI was present in 46.2% (n = 43) of the historical protocol group and 49.3% (n = 36) of the updated protocol group (P = 0.69). The median age of patients with HDI was 35.0 years (interquartile range 26.0-52.0), 74.7% (n = 59) were men, and the median injury severity score was 41.0 (interquartile range 29.0-50.0). Patients with HDI in the updated protocol group had a lower heart rate on presentation (105.0 vs. 120.0; P = 0.004), required less units of RBCs over the first 24 hours (6.0 vs. 8.0, P = 0.03), and did not differ in age, injury severity score, systolic blood pressure on arrival, base deficit or lactate on arrival, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, resuscitative thoracotomy, angioembolization, or anterior pelvis open reduction internal fixation (P > 0.05). The number of PPPs performed decreased under the new protocol (8.3% vs. 65.1%, P < 0.0001), and there were fewer anterior pelvic infections (0.0% vs. 13.9%, P = 0.02), fewer VTEs (8.3% vs. 30.2%; P = 0.02), and no difference in deaths from acute hemorrhagic shock (5.6% vs. 7.0%, P = 1.00). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the transfusion threshold from 2 to 4 units of red blood cells to perform pelvic packing in severely injured patients with pelvic ring injuries decreased anterior pelvic space infections and venous thromboembolisms without affecting deaths from acute hemorrhage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Anal squamous cell carcinoma, typically associated with human papillomavirus infection, remains a rare malignancy. This article outlines a case of local recurrence in a male patient with a history of HIV and hepatitis C virus infection, previously treated with chemoradiotherapy. Extensive tumour involvement called for total pelvic exenteration extended to anterior osteomuscular compartment and genitalia. The surgical approach involved multidisciplinary collaboration and detailed preoperative planning using three-dimensional reconstruction. Key surgical considerations comprised the following: achieving tumour-free margins (R0 resection), extensive osteotomies and intricate pelvic floor reconstruction with prosthetic mesh and flap reconstruction. The procedure successfully yielded an R0 resection, maintaining adequate lower limb functionality. Our case report underscores the benefits of pelvic exenteration in locally advanced or recurrent pelvic tumours, invariably following careful patient selection and exhaustive preoperative studies.

Malalignment is one of the most critical risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Biomechanical factors such as knee varus or valgus, hip-knee-ankle angle, and femoral anteversion affect KOA severity. In this study, we aimed to investigate KOA severity predictive factors based on hip and pelvic radiographic geometry. In this cross-sectional study, 125 patients with idiopathic KOA were enrolled. Two investigators evaluated the knee and pelvic radiographs of 125 patients, and 16 radiological parameters were measured separately. KOA severity was categorized based on the medial tibiofemoral joint space widths (JSW). Based on JSW measurements, 16% (nâ =â 40), 8.8% (nâ =â 22), 16.4% (nâ =â 41), and 56.8% (nâ =â 147) were defined as grades 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively. There were significant differences between the JSW groups with respect to hip axis length, femoral neck-axis length, acetabular width, neck shaft angle (NSA), outer pelvic diameter, midpelvis-caput distance, acetabular-acetabular distance, and femoral head to femoral head length (Pâ <â .05). Two different functions were obtained using machine learning classification and logistic regression, and the accuracy of predicting was 74.4% by using 1 and 89.6% by using both functions. Our findings revealed that some hip and pelvic geometry measurements could affect the severity of KOA. Furthermore, logistic functions using predictive factors of hip and pelvic geometry can predict the severity of KOA with acceptable accuracy, and it could be used in clinical decisions.

BACKGROUND: Management of inferior ramus of the pubis-ischium ramus remains controversial, and related research is sparse. The main intention of this study is to describe the biomechanical and clinical outcomes of pubis-ischium ramus fractures in Tile B pelvic injuries and to identify the feasibility and necessity of fixation of the inferior ramus of the pubis-ischium ramus. METHODS: This study comprised two parts: a biomechanical test and a retrospective clinical study. For the biomechanical tests, Tile B-type pelvic injuries were modeled in six cadaver specimens by performing pubis-ischium osteotomies and disruption of the anterior and interosseous sacroiliac ligaments. The superior and/or inferior rami of the pubis-ischium ramus were repaired with reconstruction plates and separated into three groups (A, B, and C). Specimens were placed in the standing position and were loaded axially with two-leg support for three cycles at 500 N. The displacements of sacroiliac joints at osteotomy were measured with Vernier calipers and compared using statistical software. To investigate the clinical outcomes of this technique, 26 patients were retrospectively analyzed and divided into a superior ramus fixation group (Group D) and a combined superior and inferior ramus of the pubis-ischium ramus fixation group (Group E). The main outcome measures were time of operation, blood loss, postoperative radiographic reduction grading, and functional outcomes. RESULTS: In the vertical loading test, Group E showed better pelvic ring stability than Group D (P < 0.05). However, the shift of the sacroiliac joints was almost identical among the three groups. In our clinical case series, all fractures in Group E achieved bony union. Group E demonstrated earlier weight-bearing functional exercise (2.54 ± 1.45 vs 4.77 ± 2.09; P = 0.004), earlier bony union (13.23 ± 2.89 vs 16.55 ± 3.11; P = 0.013), and better functional outcomes (89.77 ± 7.27 vs 82.38 ± 8.81; P = 0.028) than Group D. The incidence of sexual dysfunction was significantly lower in Group E than that in Group D (2/13 vs 7/13; P = 0.039). Bone nonunion occurred in two patients in Group D, and two patients in Group E had heterotopic ossification. None of the patients exhibited wound complications, infections, implant failures, or bone-implant interface failures. CONCLUSIONS: Fixation of the inferior ramus of a pubis-ischium ramus fracture based on conventional fixation of the anterior pelvic ring is mechanically superior in cadaveric Tile B pelvic injury and shows rapid recovery, good functional outcomes, and low incidence of complications.

BACKGROUND: Fundamental morphologic differences between male and female pelvises are historically recognised. Despite this, little consideration has been given as to whether or not conventional positioning supports used for primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed in the lateral position do an equally effective job of maintaining the intended set up position when comparing genders. Given that recent research has highlighted that unintended pelvic roll occurs commonly during hip surgery, and that such movement may have a mechanically-deleterious consequence upon final construct performance and complication rates, this study was undertaken to explore the differences in pelvic roll between genders. METHODS: The output of a high-precision, commercially-available, imageless intra-operative navigation system was prospectively-collected for 85 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral, primary THAs. These data were separated by gender and were utilised to determine differences in pelvic movement around a central sagittal axis. RESULTS: Demographic data were similar between genders, with no between-group differences in mean BMI (p = 0.09) or indication for surgery (p = 0.66), however participating males (mean 68.04) were slightly younger than females (mean 73.31). The mean anterior pelvic roll for females was 9.50°, and for males 8.68°. There were no statistically significant independent correlations observed between gender (p = 0.21) and pelvic roll. CONCLUSION: The findings of this novel study do not suggest gender differences in the magnitude of unintended, intra-operative, anterior roll, even when corrected for BMI and surgical indication. Average roll of ~ 9° was demonstrated across both groups. An awareness of such positional change during THA surgery may reduce potentially-avoidable post-operative complications.

The ossa coxae are the bones that connect the hindlimbs to the axial skeleton. The right and left os coxae join at the median plane to form the pelvis. In this study, variations in pelvis shape and the asymmetric structure of the pelvis were investigated across different classes of dogs. To achieve this, computed tomography images of the pelvis were obtained from 35 dogs, and 3D modelling of the pelvis was created. Subsequently, 45 landmarks were identified on these models. As a result of the Principal Component Analysis, the shape variation was observed in the pelvic canal and crista iliaca. Directional asymmetry between Principal Component 1 and Principal Component 2 accounted for 33.84% of the total variation, while fluctuating asymmetry contributed 23.66%. Canonical variate analysis revealed that canonical variate (CV) 1 explained 56.56% of the total variation between groups, with CV 2 explained 28.98%. Male dogs exhibited greater pelvic variation than females. Procrustes ANOVA indicated that the greatest proportion of shape variation corresponds to the effect of differences among individuals. While directional asymmetry was statistically significant, fluctuating asymmetry was not. Male dogs displayed more pronounced pelvic shape asymmetry, typically towards the right. Gundogs had a narrower pelvic canal and a wide crista iliaca, whereas terriers had a wider pelvic canal and smaller crista iliaca in shape. Geometric morphometry enables statistical analysis and the derivation of average shapes from samples, making it a vital tool in veterinary anatomy. This study provides insights into pelvic geometric morphometry across different classes of dogs.

Haemorrhagic shock, which arises as a complication of pelvic fracture subsequent to severe trauma, represents a perilous state. The utilization of interventional endovascular haemostasis assumes a pivotal role in the management of patients with vascular injury following pelvic fracture. This article reports the treatment of a patient with pelvic fracture caused by a serious work-related vehicle accident. Despite the implementation of timely blood and fluid transfusion to combat shock, the application of aortic balloon obstruction, and interventional iliac artery embolization for haemostasis, the patient's condition failed to display any discernible improvement. Repeat angiography further revealed a displacement of the interventional embolization material, and the patient subsequently died of multiple organ failure. The occurrence of spring coil displacement is infrequent, but the consequences thereof are considered grave, necessitating meticulous discernment in the selection of haemostatic materials for this type of patient. The diagnostic and therapeutic processes encompassing the particular case described here were analysed and are discussed with the objective of augmenting the efficacy and success rate of treatment modalities for patients in similar circumstances.

To determine the presence of a consistent osseous corridor from the lateral-posterior aspect of the anterior inferior iliac spine to the sacral wing that could be used for safe trans percutaneous screw fixation for pelvic fragility fractures of the iliac wing and fracture dislocations of the sacroiliac joint (FFP types IIIa and IIIb). Computed tomography (CT) scans were obtained from 100 patients and imported to Mimics software for 3D reconstruction. Then, a cylinder was drawn to imitate the modified LC-II screw and adjusted to a maximum radius and length to obtain the feasible region. Thirteen parameters of the osseous corridor of the modified LC-II screw were measured. Differences between sex groups were compared, and significant statistical correlations were carefully studied to determine potentially important clinical relationships. The records of patients with FFP type IIIa and IIIb fragility fractures of the pelvis were extracted from our hospital. Patients who underwent modified LC-II screw fixation, LC-II screw fixation or reconstruction plate fixation were included. Patients' operative characteristics and complications were recorded at follow-up. Fracture reduction quality was assessed using the Matta standard. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Majeed grading system. The mean maximum diameters of the osseous corridors of the modified LC-II screw in males and females were 12.73 and 10.83 mm, respectively. The mean maximum lengths of the osseous corridors of the modified LC-II screw in males and females were 96.37 and 93.37 mm, respectively. In the treatment of patients with FFP IIIa and FFP IIIb fractures, the group of treatment by the modified LC-II screws fixation was shown significantly shorter operative time and fewer intraoperative blood loss in comparison to that by the reconstruction plates. In the present study, all the males and females had a complete osseous corridor of the modified LC-II screw. The clinical results of the patients who were treated with modified LC-II screw fixation suggest that the novel method has a good preliminary outcome.

Background: This study explored the epidemiological trends in pelvic fracture (PF) in China from 1992 to 2021, analyze their relationships with age-period-cohort (APC) factors, and predict the trends of PF from 2022 to 2046. Methods: Incidence and years lived with disabilities (YLDs) of PF among sexes in China from 1992 to 2021 were obtained through the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. Trends in the incidence and YLDs were described, and a joinpoint regression model was used. The APC model was used to explore the effects of age, period, and cohort on the incidence and YLDs. Nordpred forecasted the incidence and YLDs in China from 2022 to 2046. Results: In 2021, there were an estimated 0.63 million incidence cases and 0.33 million of YLDs, respectively. The number and age-standardized rate (ASR) of incidence and YLDs were both gradually increased. The average annual percent change (AAPC) in incidence and YLDs for men were 0.26% and -0.17%, respectively. For women, the AAPC values for incidence and YLDs were -0.03% and -0.57% (p < 0. 001), respectively. The relative risk (RR) of PF increases with age, with the lowest risk in those aged 10-14 years for incidence and aged 1-4 for YLDs and the highest risk in those aged >95 years for incidence and aged 90-94 years for YLDs. The period effect showed a totally increase in the risk across the general, male, and female populations. Cohort effects indicated a totally significant decline for both incidence and YLDs. The predicted incidence and YLDs of PF in China from 2022 to 2046 showed an initial rise, followed by a decline, with 2029 and 2034 being the turning point for incidence and YLDs, respectively. Conclusion: The characteristics of pelvic fracture incidence and YLDs in China are complex. Thus, primary prevention measures must be strengthened. Raising awareness about osteoporosis prevention, enhancing public health education, and promoting good dietary and hygiene habits are appropriate preventive measures for PF in China.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis is rising. Whereas the treatment for FFP type I, III, and IV is clear, the optimal treatment for FFP type II remains a topic of discussion. Traditionally these fractures have been treated conservatively. However, there is a shift toward early surgical stabilization with percutaneous screw fixation to reduce pain and promote mobility in an already frail patient population. High-quality evidence, however, is lacking. Therefore, a randomized clinical trial was designed to compare conservative management to early percutaneous screw fixation in patients with type II fragility fractures. METHODS: This is a monocenter randomized controlled trial. All patients with a FFP type II are screened for inclusion. After obtaining informed consent, patients are randomized between conservative management and surgical stabilization. Conservative management consists of early mobilization under guidance of physiotherapy and analgesics. Patients randomized for surgical treatment are operated on within 72 h using percutaneous screw fixation. The primary endpoint is mobility measured by the DEMMI score. Secondary endpoints are other dimensions of mobility, pain levels, quality of life, mortality, and morbidity. The total follow-up is 1 year. The required sample size is 68. DISCUSSION: The present study aims to give certainty on the potential benefit of surgical treatment. Current literature on this topic remains unclear. According to the volume of FFP at the study hospital, we assume that the number of patients needed for this study is gathered within 2 years. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04744350. Registered on February 8, 2021.

BACKGROUND: Ewing's sarcoma is a primary bone tumor predominantly observed in children and adolescents, necessitating a multidisciplinary treatment approach. While localized cases have a 5-year survival rate of 60-70%, the prognosis is significantly worse in pelvic advanced cases with metastasis. Moreover, pelvic Ewing's sarcoma has the unique problem of leading to high rates of postoperative infection. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a Japanese 14-year-old boy with left iliac Ewing's sarcoma and multiple metastases. At the initial visit, imaging revealed a large tumor in the left iliac bone with extraosseous extension and metastasis to multiple sites. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy resulted in significant tumor reduction. Surgical resection was performed without pelvic ring reconstruction to enable early postoperative chemotherapy and minimize postoperative infection risk. Despite complete abductor muscle removal, the patient achieved a stable gait postoperatively by centering the load axis. CONCLUSION: Our case highlights the successful management of a left iliac Ewing's sarcoma with multiple metastases, with a focus on functional preservation and infection risk reduction. Pelvic ring reconstruction was not performed to avoid postoperative complications, emphasizing the importance of early postoperative chemotherapy. The patient achieved a stable gait postoperatively, demonstrating the potential benefits of this approach in similar cases.

The challenge in treating traumatic hemipelvectomy is the dynamics of the complex and life-threatening consequences of the injury. These include skin and soft tissue defects, osseous, neural and vascular injuries as well as the subsequent hemostatic derangement and organ dysfunction as part of the shock process. The treatment requires rapid and targeted decisions to save the patient's life. In this particular case a 34-year-old farmer was trapped between a wheeled loader and a stationary trailer. Upon arrival at the hospital the patient was in a state of hemorrhagic shock with accompanying acute traumatic coagulopathy and a grade III open pelvic trauma with complete ischemia of the left leg and a bladder injury. After performing emergency surgery and a two-stage approach for pelvic stabilization the patient's condition deteriorated up to multiorgan failure, necessitating left-sided hemipelvectomy as an immediate life-saving salvage procedure. In the further course multiple revision surgeries and plastic reconstructions due to wound infections and the presence of skin and soft tissue damage were required. Due to the rare confrontation with this type of injury in everyday practice and the absence of a universal treatment algorithm, the following case report is intended to contribute to a better understanding of the treatment and to illustrate the coherent interactions of the individual organ systems affected.

The development of the pelvis follows a predictable pattern of ossification that involves the maturation of bone, synchondroses, and apophyses. These growth centers appear and close at distinct times during skeletal maturity and give rise to structural changes in the pelvis that can be distinctively appreciated on various imaging modalities. Accurate interpretation of radiologic images requires knowledge of skeletal development because the varying appearance of the maturing pediatric pelvis may be mistaken for pathology. In addition, many normal features within the pelvis can be erroneously perceived as injury. This article incorporates a multimodality review of normal pelvic maturation, a discussion of developmental variants, and a description of common injuries unique to the pediatric pelvis.

Aims: Venous tumour thrombus (VTT) is a rare finding in osteosarcoma. Despite the high rate of VTT in osteosarcoma of the pelvis, there are very few descriptions of VTT associated with extrapelvic primary osteosarcoma. We therefore sought to describe the prevalence and presenting features of VTT in osteosarcoma of both the pelvis and the limbs. Methods: Records from a single institution were retrospectively reviewed for 308 patients with osteosarcoma of the pelvis or limb treated between January 2000 and December 2022. Primary lesions were located in an upper limb (n = 40), lower limb (n = 198), or pelvis (n = 70). Preoperative imaging and operative reports were reviewed to identify patients with thrombi in proximity to their primary lesion. Imaging and histopathology were used to determine presence of tumour within the thrombus. Results: Tumours abutted the blood vessels in 131 patients (43%) and encased the vessels in 30 (10%). Any form of venous thrombus was identified in 31 patients (10%). Overall, 21 of these thrombi were determined to be involved with the tumour based on imaging (n = 9) or histopathology (n = 12). The rate of VTT was 25% for pelvic osteosarcoma and 1.7% for limb osteosarcoma. The most common imaging features associated with histopathologically proven VTT were enhancement with contrast (n = 12; 100%), venous enlargement (n = 10; 83%), vessel encasement (n = 8; 66%), and visible intraluminal osteoid matrix (n = 6; 50%). Disease-specific survival (DSS) for patients with VTT was 95% at 12 months (95% CI 0.87 to 1.00), 50% at three years (95% CI 0.31 to 0.80), and 31% at five years (95% CI 0.14 to 0.71). VTT was associated with worse DSS (hazard ratio 2.3 (95% CI 1.11 to 4.84). Conclusion: VTT is rare with osteosarcoma and occurs more commonly in the pelvis than the limbs. Imaging features suggestive of VTT include enhancement with contrast, venous dilation, and vessel encasement. VTT portends a worse prognosis for patients with osteosarcoma, with a similar survivability to metastatic disease.

Unstable trauma lesion of the spinopelvic junction, including U-shaped sacral fractures and Tile C pelvic ring disruptions, require surgical stabilization in order to realign the bone arches of the pelvis thus reducing the upcoming orthopaedic impairment during sitting, standing, and walking positions, decompress the nerves roots of the cauda equina in a view of reducing neurological impairment, and allow early weight bearing. Even though posterior open modified triangular spinopelvic fixation is particularly efficient for treating unstable trauma lesions of the spinopelvic junction, it may not be sufficient alone in order to prevent long-term counter-nutation, i.e. rotation and anteflexion deformity of the anterior pelvis under load bearing conditions. Such progressive deformation is caused by either the slight rotation of the iliac connectors within the head of iliac screws for spinopelvic constructs, or the slight rotation of sacral cancellous bone around transsacral screws in case of percutaneous procedure. Regardless of the posterior surgical technique that is used, complementary anterior pelvic fixation appears mandatory in order to prevent such deformation over time, which can lead to pelvic asymmetry and then gait imbalance.

INTRODUCTION: pelvic fracture in children is considered one of the most important injuries due to its high mortality. They are rare, but have a major impact on patients' functional outcomes. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the clinical evolution and functional grade in pediatric patients with pelvic fractures who have already been treated, either conservatively or surgically. MATERIAL AND METHODS: descriptive-cross-sectional-retrospective study. Sample of 24 patients, aged five to 16 years with pelvic fracture, treated from 2016 to 2021. Clinical and functional outcome was assessed using the Barthel index and hip range of motion, as well as surgical or conservative treatment, accompanying lesions and injury mechanism. RESULTS: to find out if there is an association between the Torode and Zieg classifications with the Barthel index and hip range of motion, an association analysis was performed with the 2 statistic, obtaining a 2 value = 19.213. with p = 0.004 for the Barthel index and a 2= 14.253 with p = 0.0026 for hip ranges of motion; these results indicate that there is statistically significant association. CONCLUSION: the most frequent type of pelvic fracture in pediatric patients treated is type III on the Torode and Zieg scale, which according to the Barthel index is associated with a degree of independence and complete hip mobility arches, so the clinical and functional outcome in these patients is high in severe injuries.
INTRODUCCIÓN: la fractura de pelvis en edad pediátrica es considerada de las lesiones más importantes debido a su alta mortalidad; son poco frecuentes, pero tienen gran impacto en el resultado funcional de los pacientes. OBJETIVO: evaluar la evolución clínica y grado funcional en niños con fracturas de pelvis tratados de forma conservadora o quirúrgica. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio descriptivo-transversal-retrospectivo. Muestra de 24 pacientes, de cinco a 16 años de edad, con fractura de pelvis, tratados del 2016 al 2021. Se valoró el resultado clínico y funcional mediante el índice de Barthel y arcos de movilidad de cadera, tratamiento quirúrgico o conservador, lesiones acompañantes y mecanismo de lesión. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el software IBM SPSS Statistics®. RESULTADOS: se realizó un análisis de asociación mediante 2 entre las clasificaciones de Torode y Zieg con el índice de Barthel y arcos de movilidad de cadera, obteniendo un valor de 2 = 19.213 con p = 0.004 para índice de Barthel y un valor de 2= 14.253 con p = 0.0026 para arcos de movilidad de cadera; estos resultados indican que hay una asociación estadísticamente significativa. CONCLUSIÓN: el tipo de fractura de pelvis más frecuente en pacientes tratados es el tipo III en la escala de Torode y Zieg, la cual, según el índice de Barthel, se asocia con un grado de independencia y arcos de movilidad de cadera completos, por lo que el resultado clínico y funcional en estos pacientes es alto en lesiones severas.

Unstable traumas of the spinopelvic junction, which include displaced U-shaped sacral fractures (Roy-Camille type 2 and type 3) and Tile C vertical shear pelvic ring disruptions, occur in severe traumas patients following high speed traffic accident or fall from a height. These unstable traumas of the spinopelvic junction jeopardize one's ability to stand and to walk by disrupting the biomechanical arches of the pelvis, and may also cause cauda equina syndrome. Historically, such patients were treated with bed rest and could suffer a life-long burden of orthopedic and neurological disability. Since Schildhauer pioneer work back in 2003, triangular spinopelvic fixation, whether it is performed in a percutaneous fashion or by open reduction and internal fixation, allows to realign bone fragments of the spinopelvic junction and to resume walking within three weeks. Nevertheless, such procedure remains highly technical and it not encountered very often, even for spine surgeons working in high-volume level 1 trauma centers. Hence, this visual technical note aims to provide a few tips to guide less experience surgeons to complete this procedure safely.
