The investigators primary objective is to determine the fracture patterns, displacement-based treatment decisions, immediate and long-term complications, clinical, radiographic and patient reported outcomes of acetabular fractures with open physes. Hypothesis: This study will demonstrate that more complex and displaced fracture patterns are associated with a greater incidence of complications and poorer outcomes. The investigators secondary objective is to create a pediatric acetabular registry that can be used to track fracture patterns, displacement-based treatment decisions, immediate and long-term complications, clinical, radiographic and patient reported outcomes of acetabular fractures with open physes. Hypothesis: This study will demonstrate that more complex and displaced fracture patterns are associated with a greater incidence of complications and poorer outcomes.
Introduction This document is a protocol for a human research study. This two-phased study will be carried out in accordance with the applicable United States government regulations and the University of Utah and Primary Children's Hospital research policies and procedures. The first phase will consist of a retrospective cohort that will be contacted for follow-up data, while the second phase will consist of the creation of a prospective database. Background and Current Clinical Data Pelvic fractures, consisting of the pelvic ring and acetabulum, represent less than 0.2% of all pediatric fr…
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years or less (at time of injury) with open physes sustaining an acetabular fracture with primary treatment occurring at either University of Utah Hospital or Primary Children's Hospital from 2000-present. * Informed consent can be obtained from parent, guardian, or family member. Exclusion Criteria: * History of metabolic or genetic bone disease (Ricket's, Osteogenesis Imperfecta), * pathologic fracture, * non-ambulatory prior to injury, paraplegic, * hemiplegic, or cognitive impairment that inhibits the participant's ability to answer patient reporte…
