| Core Tip |
Few studies in orthopaedics have investigated complication rates, readmission rates, and length of stay differences with respect to surgical approach for patients with sacral fractures. Investigating these issues in an era of rising healthcare costs will help determine cost-effective care. We reviewed patients presenting with isolated sacral fractures at a large, level-Ⅰ trauma center, and found those treated with open reduction internal fixation stayed nearly 3 d longer compared to patients treated with percutaneous approaches. With similar complication and readmission rates between the two groups, we recommend a percutaneous approach to help lower total hospital costs for more value-based practice. |
