Functional outcome of 'LC-1 pelvic ring injury with incomplete sacral fracture' managed non-operatively.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Standard guidelines regarding the management of un-displaced LC-1 type pelvic ring injury supported by data in literature are lacking, though it is considered to be stable and widely managed non-operatively. In our study we evaluated the functional outcome of LC-1 pelvic ring injury with incomplete sacral fracture managed non-operatively in patients having age more than 18 years and minimum follow-up of 6 months.

Methods

46 patients having LC-1 pelvic ring injury with incomplete sacral fractures having age more than 18 years and minimum follow-up of 6 months were identified from the hospital record. All these patients were managed with non-weight bearing walking for first 3 weeks followed by weight bearing as tolerated. Patients were called in outpatient departmen
