With increasing numbers of pelvic fractures fixed internally, there are concerns that conservative management of bladder rupture may increase the risk of pelvic metalware infection. This study aims to determine if operative repair of bladder rupture in comparison to conservative management with catheter drainage alone is associated with a lower rate of infection of internal fixation device for concurrent pelvic fracture.

Article Synopsis
- Oligometastasis in prostate cancer is a condition where limited metastatic spread may respond well to aggressive local treatments, potentially leading to longer survival.
- A systematic review identified successful cases involving surgery and ablative radiotherapy, with reported disease-free survival of up to 12 years after surgery and significant local control rates of 66-90% with radiotherapy over a median follow-up of 6 to 43 months.
- Although the current evidence favors radiotherapy, further research is needed to compare aggressive local therapies with traditional androgen deprivation therapy regarding overall survival benefits.
