Treatment of pelvic fractures

Pelvic fractures are treated conservatively and surgically, depending on the type of fracture and the patient's condition. Treatment is closely coordinated. Pelvic fractures are serious injuries, and treatment depends on the type, severity, and overall health of the patient. Here are some common pelvic fracture treatments: 1. Conservative treatment: For stable pelvic fractures, conservative treatment is usually used. This includes bed rest, pain management, physical therapy, and rehabilitation training. Patients need to rest in bed for a period of time, usually several weeks, to allow the fracture to heal. During recovery, patients may need to wear pelvic straps or use crutches to assist in walking. 2. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment may be necessary for unstable pelvic fractures or neurovascular injuries. The goal of surgery is to restore pelvic stability and alignment and repair damaged tissue. Surgical methods include plating, screw fixation, bone grafting, etc. After surgery, patients require rehabilitation, including physical therapy, rehabilitation training, and resumption of activities of daily living. 3. Complications: Pelvic fractures may lead to some complications, such as deep vein thrombosis, lung infection, urinary system infection, etc. Doctors will take appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures to reduce the occurrence of complications. 4. Rehabilitation treatment: Whether conservative treatment or surgical treatment, rehabilitation treatment is an important part of pelvic fracture treatment. Rehabilitation includes physical therapy, exercise training, pain management, etc., designed to help patients recover function and improve quality of life. It should be noted that pelvic fracture treatment is an individualized process, and doctors will develop the most appropriate treatment plan according to the specific conditions of the patient. During the treatment, patients need to closely cooperate with the doctor's treatment and follow the doctor's recommendations for rehabilitation training and life management.Key messages: 1.
