FERNANDEZ VALLE, Oscar et al. Behavior of the traumatic lesions of the pelvic ring. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.1, pp. 2873-2886. Epub 28-Feb-2021. ISSN 1684-1824.
Introduction:
pelvic ring traumatic lesions are a challenge for orthopedic surgeons due to their high morbi-mortality and the consequences derived from them.
Objective:
to describe the behavior of clinical and demographic variables in patients cared due to pelvic ring traumatic lesions in the University Hospital “Comandante Faustino Perez Hernandez” of Matanzas.
Method:
a descriptive, prospective, longitudinal research was carried out in patients admitted to the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service of the before-named hospital for presenting pelvic ring traumatic lesions in the period from January 2009 until January 2019. Clinical and demographic variables were chosen.
Results:
the study included 48 patients. Male sex predominated, 29 patients, 60.4 %; the most frequent age ranged between 31 and 50 years. Type B fractures predominated with 24 patients and 50 %; surgical treatment also predominated with 27 patients and 56.2 %; among the immediate complications, hypovolemic shock predominated in 14 patients for 29.1 %; among the late ones, surface sepsis predominated with 6 patients, 12.5 %.
Conclusions:
pelvic ring traumatic lesions should be always treated like serious lesions; therefore they should be evaluated in a multidiscipline way, adhered to the intervention protocols, and by highly experienced professionals.
