To compare hospital outcomes and late displacement between stress-positive minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) pelvic ring injuries treated with combined anterior-posterior versus posterior-only fixation.
Retrospective comparative cohort.
Urban level-one trauma center.
PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: LC1 injuries managed operatively.
Anterior-posterior versus posterior-only fixation.
Physical therapy (PT) clearance, discharge location, hospital length of stay (LOS), inpatient morphine equivalent doses (MED), and fracture displacement at follow-up.
Groups were similar in demographic and injury characteristics (age, high energy mechanism, ASA score, stress displacement, and rami/sacral fracture classifications). Anterior-posterior fixation resulted in longer operative times (median difference (MD): 27.0 minutes, 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.0 to 40.0, P < 0.0001) and had a trend of increased estimated blood loss (MD: 10 mL, CI: 0 to 30, P = 0.07). Patients with anterior-posterior fixation required less inpatient MEDs (MD: -180.0, CI: -341.2 to -15.0, P = 0.02), were more likely to clear PT by discharge (100% vs. 70%, proportional difference (PD): 30%, CI: 2.0%-57.2%, P = 0.02), were less likely to discharge to rehabilitation facilities (0% vs. 30%, PD: 30%, CI: 2.0%-57.2%, P = 0.02), and had a trend of less days to clear PT after surgery (MD: -1, CI: -2 to 0, P = 0.09) and decreased LOS (MD: -1, CI: -4 to 1, P = 0.17). Late fracture displacement did not differ between groups.
Anterior-posterior fixation of LC1 injuries was associated with an improved early hospital course-specifically, reduced inpatient opioid use and an increased number of patients who could clear PT and discharge home.

比较前后联合与单纯后路固定治疗应力阳性轻度移位外侧压缩型 1 型(LC1)骨盆环损伤的医院转归和迟发性移位。
回顾性比较队列。
城市一级创伤中心。
患者/参与者:手术治疗的 LC1 损伤。
前后联合与单纯后路固定。
物理治疗(PT)清除、出院地点、住院时间(LOS)、住院内吗啡等效剂量(MED)和随访时骨折移位。
两组在人口统计学和损伤特征(年龄、高能机制、ASA 评分、应力移位和支/骶骨骨折分类)方面相似。前后联合固定导致手术时间延长(中位数差值(MD):27.0 分钟,95%置信区间(CI):17.0 至 40.0,P < 0.0001),且估计失血量有增加趋势(MD:10 mL,CI:0 至 30,P = 0.07)。前后联合固定的患者需要更少的住院内 MED(MD:-180.0,CI:-341.2 至-15.0,P = 0.02),更有可能在出院时通过 PT 清除(100%比 70%,比例差异(PD):30%,CI:2.0%至 57.2%,P = 0.02),不太可能出院到康复设施(0%比 30%,PD:30%,CI:2.0%至 57.2%,P = 0.02),并且术后 PT 清除的天数有减少趋势(MD:-1,CI:-2 至 0,P = 0.09)和 LOS 减少(MD:-1,CI:-4 至 1,P = 0.17)。两组的迟发性骨折移位无差异。
LC1 损伤的前后联合固定与早期住院转归改善相关,尤其是减少了住院内阿片类药物的使用,增加了能够通过 PT 清除并出院回家的患者数量。
