Certain Subsets of Older Patients With Pelvic Ring Injuries Benefit From Surgery .
Certain subsets of older adults with pelvic ring injuries may benefit from surgical treatment, particularly when fractures are unstable or significantly painful. In older patients, pelvic ring injuries often result from low-energy trauma and can be associated with serious mobility loss and complications if managed nonoperatively. Newer approaches — especially minimally invasive surgical fixation — are increasingly used in selected patients to reduce pain, promote earlier mobilization, and improve functional outcomes compared with nonoperative care. However, clinical practice varies widely, and definitive evidence about exactly which patient groups benefit most from surgery is still evolving. These decisions typically depend on fracture pattern, overall health status, and the patient’s ability to tolerate surgery, underscoring the need for more standardized treatment protocols.
