Abstract

Background: The internal fixation surgery is currently effective method for treating unstable pelvic fractures, which stabilizes fractures anatomically and enhances rehabilitative ability for patients. Objectives: (1) Identifying some clinical characteristic of patients with unstable pelvic fracture; (2) Evaluating the surgical results by open reduction and internal fixation on these patients. Material and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive and prospective study was carried out in 13 patients which were made internal fixation surgery from June 2022 to Febuary 2023. Results: 13 patients had the average age: 38.38 ± 13.75 year-old; traffic accident was the most common reason for pelvic fracture; the majority of patients are classified there pelvic fracture in Tile B2 and had other organs damages. The anatomical results were excellent – good; the functional outcomes through Majeed’s score were fair (55.4 ± 7.3 points in 1 month) and good (70.2 ± 7.1 points in 3 months). Conclusions: The open reduction and internal fixation surgery on patients with unstable pelvic fracture has satisfactory results.
