About This Multiple Closed Pelvic Fractures With Disruption of Pelvic Ring Study in Boston

The goal of this randomized pilot study is to assess feasibility of the trial and to collect information to inform the design of a definitive trial. Adult patients ages 60 years or older with a low-energy lateral compression type 1 (LC1) pelvis fracture with \<10 mm initial displacement of the posterior pelvic ring will be eligible to participate in the study. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment groups, early internal fixation or nonoperative care with early rehabilitation, defined as at least five days of attempted mobilization by rehabilitation providers. Participants will be followed for 1 year.

Sponsor: University of Southern California
