Abstract
|

|
|
The incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) has increased significantly due to the aging population and improved diagnostic modalities. The evaluation and treatment of these patients differ from that of high-energy pelvic ring injuries typically seen in younger patients. Therefore, it is important to classify the FFP by patterns of the classification system to standardize optimal treatment criteria and appropriate treatment strategy. However, some cases are not classifiable according to the FFP classification. A newly proposed classification that can be verified by comparing existing FFP classifications is needed to overcome the weak points. Non-operative treatment is usually considered first and should focus on early mobilization. Operative fixation should focus on stabilizing the minimally invasive pelvic ring than the reduction of fractures to facilitate early mobilization and avoid complications that can arise from comorbidities associated with immobility.
