Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The growing population of elderly people is leading to a rising number of pelvic ring fractures. These often involve combinations of pubic branch and sacrum fractures, as seen in lateral compression type 1 (LC1) and 2 (LC2) fractures or more precisely classified as fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP). The combined impact on the anterior and posterior ring brings the risk of prolonged pain, resulting in decreased mobility and increased complications. Given the higher multimorbidity of this population, surgical treatment poses a greater risk of intra- and post-operative complications. Hence, the management and treatment of this particular type of fracture remain challenging.
