What this Trial Is About
This research aims to understand how patients recover in terms of function and self-reported outcomes after experiencing pelvic or acetabular fractures. It includes patients treated with surgery or without surgery and seeks to answer important questions about these treatments by capturing data over time. Patients in the study are grouped based on having either pelvic ring fractures or acetabular fractures. The study collects information regardless of whether the treatment was operative (surgical) or nonoperative (nonsurgical). Various performance and patient-reported outcome measures, including the NIH PROMIS tool, are used to monitor recovery. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months after their injury. During this time, researchers will assess their return to work and daily activities, track fracture healing and complications, and evaluate physical performance through tests like the 10 meter walk, Five Time Sit to Stand, and Timed Up and Go. Patient feedback is collected at multiple time points to understand their health status and function over time.
