Our aim is to provide a platform for the exchange of new clinical and technical information in the most expeditious way and encouragement of cross-fertilization of ideas related to the field of orthopaedic and rehabilitation.</p> <p>Journal welcomes original research papers, review articles, expert opinions, case studies, meta-analysis, translational research studies and other evidence-based articles in basic and clinical orthopaedic research.</p> <p>Basic science topics covered in the scope of the journal may range from cellular, molecular, structural and functional perspectives to tissue engineering, gait analysis, automation and robotic surgery. While clinical research areas may relate to the fields of traumatology, Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, limb reconstruction procedures, Spine and Spinal deformities, spinal surgery, joint replacement, sports medicine, orthopaedic oncology, hand microsurgery, foot and ankle surgery, paediatric orthopaedic, orthopaedic rehabilitation including Implant and biomaterial designs though, this is not an exhaustive list.</p> https://savvysciencepublishers.com/index.php/ijor/article/view/1038 2024-10-30T06:12:43+00:00 Amulya R.

<p>Pelvic ring fractures (PRF) are high energy fractures with an incidence of 20/100,000 among all fractures and significant associated morbidity and mortality. PRF are often classified using Young-Burgess classification, and Tile AO classification. This project aims to review the literature comparing the two classification systems for reliability, clinical implications and guide for treatment plan. Google Scholar search was performed with the following words: “Young”, “Burgess”, “Tile”, “presentation”, “treatment”, “pelvic ring” in the Title/Abstract. After review of 828 results, 11 articles are included in this systematic review. Reliability of the classification systems positively correlated with an increase in years of experience. When comparing the reliability, Young-Burgess is shown to have moderate-to-substantial level of agreement for classifying pelvic fractures when accounting for expertise level, while Tile showed substantial agreement between specialists only. Young-Burgess better predicted mortality as compared to Tile, while another study found no significant difference. Tile B and LC fractures are found to have higher frequency of hemodynamic instability and undergo laparotomies more frequently. When comparing treatment options, there is a moderate level of agreement for the treatment option solely based on images. However, the question of how the classifications guide treatment outcomes remains unanswered. After review of current literature, it appears that Young-Burgess classification has slightly higher reliability and better prediction for mortality than Tile. However, there is a need for further research on how the classification systems can determine the treatment and outcomes to improve morbidity and mortality.</p>
