Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Understanding the factors leading to PRFs may help improve vehicle design and safety. This study sought to determine the vehicular, crash, and occupant characteristics that contribute to PRFs. METHODS:From 1997 to 2003, 240 adult patients involved in lateral or frontal crashes were prospectively studied. Comprehensive crash reconstructions, vehicle analysis, and occupant data were compiled and analyzed as part of the national Crash Injury Research Engineering Network project. RESULTS:Of 240 study patients, 38 had PRFs. The incidence of PRFs was significantly associated with female gender, lateral impact crashes, vehicle incompatibility, and severity of crash. Seat belts and airbags were not protective against PRFs in either lateral or frontal crashes. CONCLUSIONS:All vehicles in the current study were less than 6 years old at the time of the MVC and thus reflect newer safety designs. Compared with studies of PRFs in MVCs before the widespread adoption of modern safety standards, our series suggests there has been a modest decrease in the incidence of PRFs in newer vehicles. Current safety standards do not adequately protect against PRFs, especially in lateral MVCs involving incompatibility and female occupants. New technology needs to be developed and implemented. Our data suggest that side impact airbags, alteration of vehicle geometry, and increased reinforcement of side panels and doors may result in fewer PRFs.
