[Influence on coagulation function and the therapy effect of damage control orthopaedics for unstable pelvic fractures and multiple fractures of extremities].

Objective: To retrospectively explore the effects of damage control orthopaedics concept on coagulation and curative effects in unstable pelvic fractures and multiple fractures of limbs.

Methods: From March 2014 to December 2015, 40 patients with unstable pelvic fractures and limbs multiple fractures in treatment group included 22 males and 18 females with an average age of (39.00±4.12) years old were treated with the damage control orthopaedics concept, the ISS score was (25.36±10.81) on average;Other 40 patients with the same trauma in conventional group included 25 males and 15 females with an average age of (38.00±3.24) years old were treated with conventional method from January 2012 to January 2014 served as control, the average ISS score was 26.56±11.44. Matta criteria and Majeed function standard were used respectively to evaluate the fracture reduction and therapeutic effects postoperatively. Coagulation function on the 7th day postoperatively was compared between two groups.

Results: All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months. According to Matta criteria, the fracture reduction of the treatment group and the conventional group were (7.38±5.09) mm and (10.11±6.53) mm, respectively (<0.05). Majeed functional results of the treatment group and the conventional group were (86.12±6.84) points and (77.53±8.30) points, respectively (<0.05). On the 7th day after surgery, PT, APTT, TT of the treatment group were significantly higher than that of the control group;and Fib of the treatment group was also significantly lower than that of the conventional group(<0.05).

Conclusions: The concept of damage control orthopaedics could effectively improve coagulation function of the patients with unstable pelvic fractures and limbs multiple fractures, thus are beneficial to the functional recovery as well as improve the curative effect postoperatively.
