To compare the incidence and severity of acetabular fractures and associated injuries before and after seatbelt legislation.
A retrospective study.
Two major trauma centres, which are teaching hospitals.
Three hundred and ninety-three patients who sustained acetabular fractures during the 5 years before and 5 years after seatbelt legislation was enacted. Of these, the fractures in 198 patients (50.4%) resulted from a motor vehicle accident.
The number and severity of acetabular fractures and associated injuries.
There has been a significant reduction in the number of acetabular fractures (p = 0.005) since seatbelt use became mandatory, and the complexity of the fractures has decreased. There has also been a marked reduction in associated injuries, such as fractures of other bones, and head, chest and abdominal injuries (p < 0.001).
The seatbelt law has been a useful preventive measure, resulting in a reduction in the incidence of acetabular fractures and associated injuries.
比较安全带立法前后髋臼骨折及相关损伤的发生率和严重程度。
一项回顾性研究。
两家作为教学医院的主要创伤中心。
在安全带立法颁布前5年和颁布后5年期间发生髋臼骨折的393例患者。其中,198例(50.4%)患者的骨折由机动车事故导致。
髋臼骨折及相关损伤的数量和严重程度。
自从安全带成为强制使用装备后,髋臼骨折的数量显著减少(p = 0.005),并且骨折的复杂程度降低。其他骨骼骨折、头部、胸部和腹部损伤等相关损伤也显著减少(p < 0.001)。
安全带法律是一项有效的预防措施,可降低髋臼骨折及相关损伤的发生率。
