BACKGROUND: Open pelvic fracture, caused by a blunt mechanism, is an uncommon
injury with a high mortality rate. In 2008, evidence-based algorithm for managing
pelvic fractures in unstable patients was published by the Western Trauma
Association (WTA). The use of massive transfusion protocols has become widespread
as has the availability and use of pelvic angiography. The purpose of this study
was to evaluate the outcome of open pelvic fractures in association with related
advances in trauma care. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed, at an
American College of Surgeon verified level I trauma center, of patients with
blunt open pelvic fractures from January 2010 to April 2016. The WTA algorithm,
including massive transfusion protocol, and pelvic angiography were uniformly
used. Data collected included injury severity score, demographic data,
transfusion requirements, use of pelvic angiography, length of stay, and
disposition. Data were compared with a similar study from 2005. RESULTS: During
the study period, 1505 patients with pelvic fractures were analyzed; 87 (6%)
patients had open pelvic fractures. Of these, 25 were from blunt mechanisms and
made up the study population. Patients in both studies had similar injury
severity scores, ages, Glasgow Coma Scale, and gender distributions. Use of
angiography was higher (44% vs. 16%; P=0.011) and mortality was lower (16% vs.
45%; P=0.014) than in the 2005 study. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in trauma care for
patients with open blunt pelvic fracture include the use of an evidence-based
algorithm, massive transfusion protocols and increased use of angioembolization.
Mortality for open pelvic fractures has decreased with these advances. LEVEL OF
EVIDENCE: Level IV.
