Injury Mar 24, 2021
Lundin N, Huttunen TT, Berg HE, et al. - The present study was conducted to explore the epidemiology and treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures in a nationwide register study including all adult patients in Sweden during 2001-2016. Researchers applied Swedish National Patient Register to obtain data on the entire Swedish population aged ≥18 years from 2001 to 2016. During the 16-year study period, they observed a total of 87,308 pelvic and acetabular fractures (71% females) in Sweden and the incidence elevated from 64 to 80 per 100,000 person-years from 2001 to 2016. In Sweden, the incidence of pelvic and acetabular fractures elevated markedly from 2001-2016. As per the findings, pelvic fractures were more common among females and acetabular among males. Compared with pelvic fractures, the surgical rate was higher for acetabular. The outcomes revealed that major gender differences in treatment choices were observed with a higher proportion of men treated surgically for both fracture types and in all age groups.
