Validated Radiographic Scoring System for Lateral Compression Type 1 Pelvis Fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop a radiographic fracture scoring system for lateral compression type 1 (LC-1) pelvic fractures based on OTA/AO survey data and to preliminarily evaluate this system within an LC-1 pelvis fracture cohort.

Design

Survey study with validation patient cohort.

Setting

Two Level 1 academic trauma centers.

Patients/participants

Attendings (n=111) at the 2013 OTA/AO national meeting reviewed imaging from 27 LC-1 fractures and indicated surgical recommendations ("yes/no"). A separate LC-1 fracture cohort (33 patients) was used to evaluate the scoring system.

Intervention

The LC-1 scoring system (range: 5-14) based on radiographic morphology of sacral, superior ramus (SR), and inferior ramus (IR) fracture components.
