简要总结
Pelvic ring fractures in the elderly are associated with high morbidity during standard conservative treatment due to immobility. Furthermore the risk of long term dependence even after the fracture has united is high. In analogy to the treatment of hip fractures in a similar patient population, patients might benefit from surgical treatment due to a reduction in pain and early mobilization.

排除标准
- •Refusal of consent by the patient or legal representatives to participate in the study
- •Other fractures or
- •Unstable pelvic fracture (type B or C according to classification of 'Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen' (AO)/OTA) requiring surgical stabilisation after high- or low-energy trauma
- •Suspicion of a pathological fracture in the context of known or unknown malignancy
- •Previous surgery of the pelvis with metal obstructing the planned paths of the ilio-sacral screws

- •Comorbidity that precludes undergoing general or spinal anaesthesia
- •Pre-trauma mobility status that precludes achieving a post-trauma mobility status enabling the patient to perform the timed up and go test (e.g. patient being in a wheel chair)
结局指标
主要结局
Mobility at 3 weeks post-diagnosis
时间窗: 3 weeks post-diagnosis
Quality of mobilization will be compared using the TUG test. The primary endpoint is TUG at 3 weeks following diagnosis (+/- 3 days) all TUG measurements are assessed by the study nurse.
次要结局
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at baseline(baseline)
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 4-7 days after diagnosis(4-7 days after diagnosis)
- Pain (VAS 10) at 3 weeks(3 weeks)
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 12 months(12 months)
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 3 weeks(3 weeks)
- Pain (VAS 10) at baseline(baseline)
- Pain (VAS 10) at 4-7 days after diagnosis(4-7 days after diagnosis)
- Activities of Daily Living (ADL) at 3 months(3 months)
- Number of patients that are able to return to their pre-injury living situation at 3 months(3 months)
- Number of patients that are able to return to their pre-injury living situation at 12 months(12 months)
- Pain (VAS 10) at 3 months(3 months)
