Work Productivity Loss After Minimally Displaced Complete Lateral Compression Pelvis Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify work impairment and economic losses due to lost employment, lost work time (absenteeism), and lost productivity while working (presenteeism) after a lateral compression pelvic ring fracture. Secondarily, productivity loss of patients treated with surgical fixation versus nonoperative management was compared.

Methods

Design

Secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter trial.

Setting

Two level I academic trauma centers.

Patient selection criteria

Adult patients with a lateral compression pelvic fracture (OTA/AO 61-B1/B2) with a complete posterior pelvic ring fracture and less than 10 mm of initial displacement. Excluded were patients who were not working or non-ambulatory before their pelvis fracture or who had a concomitant spin
