Fragility fractures of the pelvis are common and the incidence is increasing with the aging population. The primary risk factor is osteoporosis. Diagnosis is challenging and advanced imaging with computed tomography (CT), bone scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful. These injuries result in significant morbidity, including prolonged hospitalization, immobility, and loss of autonomy in previously active patients. The mortality rate is high, similar to hip fracture patients. This problem is underappreciated and deserves attention. An opportunity exists to improve outcomes with medical and surgical management.
骨盆脆性骨折很常见,随着人口老龄化,其发病率正在上升。主要的风险因素是骨质疏松症。诊断具有挑战性,计算机断层扫描 (CT)、骨闪烁扫描和磁共振成像 (MRI) 等先进的影像学检查有助于诊断。这些损伤会导致严重的发病率,包括住院时间延长、活动受限以及原本活跃的患者丧失自理能力。死亡率很高,与髋部骨折患者相似。这个问题没有得到足够的重视,值得关注。通过医疗和手术管理,有机会改善预后。
