- Abstract:
- On the occasion of the 1990 Conference of the German Society for Accident Surgery (DGU) in Berlin, a working group "Pelvis" of the DGU and the AO International was established on the initiative of H. Tscherne. It is the objective of this working group to formulate guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic girdle fractures, within the framework of a prospective multicentre study based on comparable results. In the annual report for 1991, a total of 460 pelvic fractures were documented. Classification shows that 9.5% belong to group A, 46.3% to group B, and 44.2% to group C. One hundred and eighty-two patients (39.6%) had an isolated pelvic injury, while 278 (60.4%) sustained multiple injuries. The average polytrauma score for all 460 subjects was 23.2 points. The surgical management was shown to depend on the severity of the fracture.
