The impact of specific fracture characteristics of low-energy fractures of the pelvis on mortality

The impact of specific fracture characteristics of low-energy fractures of the pelvis on mortality

Abstract Background Pelvic fractures in older patients are associated with relevant morbidity and mortality. Both might be determined by fracture morphology and/or patient characteristics. The aim of this project is to investigate the prognostic value of specific fracture characteristics with respec...
