Article Synopsis
- High-energy pelvic ring injuries (PRI) are significant issues for trauma centers, with only two recent studies analyzing their incidence and characteristics, focusing on type B or C injuries.
- The study found a global incidence of 3.8/100,000/year for high-energy blunt PRI, showing no gender differences, although overall high-energy blunt trauma was more common in men.
- Patients with type B or C PRI had more severe injuries and required greater medical resources compared to other trauma patients, but complication and mortality rates were similar.
Background: A fracture classification system should be a reliable and reproducible means of communication between different observers. It should be logical, comprehensible, and shouldn't contain an unmanageable number of categories. The aim of this study was to assess the intra- and interobserver agreement and reliability of the revised 2018 AO/OTA classification for high-energy pelvic ring injuries (PRI), at the level of the types, groups, subgroups and qualifications.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a level I trauma center serving 500,000 inhabitants. A total of 127 consecutive patients with high-energy blunt PRI were included between January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2017.
