Popis: OBJECTIVES: Develop a radiographic fracture scoring system for LC-1 pelvic fractures based on OTA survey data and preliminarily evaluate this system within a LC-1 pelvis fracture cohort. DESIGN: Survey study with validation patient cohort SETTING: 2 Level-1 academic trauma centers PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS: 2013 OTA national meeting attendees (n = 111) reviewed imaging from 27 LC-1 fractures and indicated surgical recommendations (“yes/no”). A separate LC-1 fracture cohort (33 patients) was used to evaluate the scoring system. INTERVENTION: LC-1 scoring system (range: 5-14) based on radiographic morphology of sacral, superior ramus (SR), and inferior ramus (IR) fracture components MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT: Numeric scores were compared against 1) OTA attendees’ operative recommendations and 2) LC-1 cohort treatment and outcomes. RESULTS: Operative tendency of OTA survey respondents – defined as the percent of “yes” responses to recommend surgical stabilization – was highly correlated with radiographic findings: sacral displacement [OR=18.9 (95% confidence interval CI: 11.7-30.6)]; sacral column 2-3 vs. 1 [OR=5.7 (95% CI: 3.9-8.3)]; Denis classification [OR=10 (95% CI: 6.7-14.9); IR displacement OR=3.4 (95% CI: 2.3-4.8)]; SR fracture [OR=1.9 (95% CI: 1.3-2.8)]. Total scores < 7 were 81% accurate in predicting nonoperative treatment. Total scores > 9 were 89% accurate in predicting an operative recommendation. In the LC-1 cohort, scoring accuracy was 100% (95% CI: 85%-100%). CONCLUSIONS: Based on survey results and patient cohort data, scores < 7 predict nonoperative treatment recommendation, scores >9 indicate surgical recommendations, and scores 7-9 indicate indeterminate stability that should be further evaluated LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, expert opinion
