Bilateral pelvic ring and acetabular fractures are rare injuries. The optimal treatment of these patients and their outcomes remain largely unknown. We present a three year follow up of a case of bilateral posterior pelvic ring injuries and acetabular fractures treated successfully with limited internal fixation and external fixation.

Brigham and Women's Hospital, Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Older adults make up an increasing portion of orthopedic trauma care. Proxy reports are particularly valuable when patients face difficulties formulating answers due to pre-existing or temporary cognitive impairment, and provide critical insights into patient well-being.
Questions/purposes: This study examines the agreement between patient- and proxy-reported outcome measures across various health domains of older adult orthopedic trauma patients, including those with mild cognitive impairment.

Purpose: The fixation method commonly employed worldwide for treating unstable fractures of the posterior pelvic ring is the percutaneous iliosacral screw technique. However, prolonged operation time and frequent fluoroscopies result in surgical risks. This study aimed to investigate whether a new triangulation method could reduce operative and fluoroscopy times and increase the accuracy of screw placement.
