Geriatric Lateral Compression 1 Pelvic Fractures
Percutaneous Screw Fixation for Operative Treatment Versus Non-Operative Treatment of Geriatric Lateral Compression 1 Pelvic Fractures - A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Lateral compression-1 (LC1) pelvic ring fragility fractures cause significant pain and morbidity. These fragility injuries are associated with prolonged immobility and long hospital stays. Currently there is no consensus on operative stabilization of LC1 pelvic fractures, nor are there evidence-based guidelines to aid in management of these injury types. Furthermore, there is variability in operative indications, improvement in pain and mobilization. The purpose of this study is to compare percutaneous screw fixation to non-operative management in symptomatic LC1 fragility fractures in elderly patients.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Non-ambulatory prior to injury
- Concomitant injuries affecting ambulation
- Presence of implant or sacral morphology that prevents percutaneous sacral fixation
Other illness
- Dementia
- Presence of another injury or medical condition that prevents ambulation
Other
- Vertically or rotationally unstable pelvic ring injuries
- Pathologic fracture secondary to tumor
- Acute neurologic deficit
- High-energy mechanism of injury
- Enrollment in another research study the precludes co-enrollment
- Likely problems, in the judgement of the investigators, with maintaining follow-up (i.e. patients with no fixed address, etc.)
- Incarcerated or pending incarceration
Who the study is looking for
- Patients \>/= 60 years of age
- Lateral compression 1 pelvic ring fractures confirmed with plain radiographs, CT and/or MRI
- Low energy mechanism of injury or an insufficiency fracture without a precipitating event
- Acute injury within four weeks of presentation
- Inability or significant pain to mobilize with physical therapy assistance for 48 hours: Significant pain as determined by a pain score ≥ 7 with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after a Timed "Up \& Go" (TUG) assessment, or inability to complete the TUG assessment.
Age in the registry: 60 years to 100 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
