To compare the early outcomes of patients with stress-positive minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1b) pelvic ring injuries managed with or without operative fixation.
Retrospective comparison study.
Level 1 trauma center.
PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: Forty-three patients with LC1b injuries.
Operative versus nonoperative.
Discharge to subacute rehabilitation (SAR); 2- and 6-week pain visual analog score, opioid use, assistive device use, percentage of normal single assessment numerical evaluation, SAR status; fracture displacement; and complications.
The operative group did not differ in age, gender, body mass index, high-energy mechanism, dynamic displacement stress radiographs, complete sacral fractures, Denis sacral fracture classification, Nakatani rami fracture classification, follow-up length, or American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. The operative group was less likely to be using an assistive device at 6 weeks [observed difference (OD) -53.9%, 95% confidence interval (CI) -74.3% to -20.6%, OD/CI 1.00, P = 0.0005], less likely to remain in an SAR at 2 weeks (OD -27.5%, CI, -50.0% to -2.7%, OD/CI 0.58, P = 0.02), and had less fracture displacement at follow-up radiographs (OD -5.0 mm, CI, -9.2 to -1.0 mm, OD/CI 0.61, P = 0.02). There were no other differences in outcomes between treatment groups. Complications occurred in 29.6% (n = 8/27) of the operative group compared with 25.0% (n = 4/16) of the nonoperative group resulting in 7 and 1 additional procedures, respectively.
Operative treatment was associated with early benefits over nonoperative management, including shorter time using assistive devices, less SAR use, and less fracture displacement at follow-up.

比较手术固定与非手术固定治疗应力阳性轻度移位外侧挤压型 1 型(LC1b)骨盆环损伤患者的早期结果。
回顾性比较研究。
1 级创伤中心。
患者/参与者:43 例 LC1b 损伤患者。
手术与非手术。
出院至亚急性康复(SAR);2 周和 6 周时疼痛视觉模拟评分、阿片类药物使用、辅助设备使用、正常单评估数字评估的百分比、SAR 状态;骨折移位;并发症。
手术组在年龄、性别、体重指数、高能机制、动态移位应力射线照相、完全骶骨骨折、Denis 骶骨骨折分类、Nakatani 棘突骨折分类、随访时间或美国麻醉医师协会分类方面无差异。手术组在 6 周时使用辅助设备的可能性较小[观察差异(OD)-53.9%,95%置信区间(CI)-74.3%至-20.6%,OD/CI 1.00,P=0.0005],2 周时留在 SAR 的可能性较小[OD-27.5%,CI,-50.0%至-2.7%,OD/CI 0.58,P=0.02],随访时骨折移位较小[OD-5.0mm,CI,-9.2 至-1.0mm,OD/CI 0.61,P=0.02]。两组之间的其他结果没有差异。手术组并发症发生率为 29.6%(n=8/27),非手术组为 25.0%(n=4/16),分别导致 7 例和 1 例额外手术。
与非手术治疗相比,手术治疗早期有优势,包括辅助设备使用时间更短、SAR 使用更少、随访时骨折移位更小。
