Pediatric Acetabular Fracture Registry

This study is creating a registry (a collection of information) about acetabular fractures (breaks in the hip socket) in children and teenagers. Researchers want to understand the different types of these fractures, how treatment decisions are made, and any immediate or long-term problems. They are also looking at how well patients recover, both physically and through their own reports. The study includes patients aged 3 to 18 who had an acetabular fracture treated at the University of Utah or Primary Children's Hospital since 2000. Success will be measured by how patients' physical function improves, using a questionnaire at different times after their injury and surgery.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving new treatments. It aims to include 120 participants and has both a retrospective (looking back at past records) and prospective (collecting new information) phase.
What's involved
For the prospective phase, patients will be asked to complete a physical function questionnaire at Day 1 after joining the study, and then again at 2 weeks and 6 weeks post-surgery.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' physical function will be tracked for at least 6 weeks after surgery.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Patients aged 18 years or less (at time of injury) with open physes sustaining an acetabular fracture with primary treatment occurring at either University of Utah Hospital or Primary Children's Hospital from 2000-present.
Informed consent can be obtained from parent, guardian, or family member.

Exclusion

History of metabolic or genetic bone disease (Ricket's, Osteogenesis Imperfecta),
pathologic fracture,
non-ambulatory prior to injury, paraplegic,
hemiplegic, or cognitive impairment that inhibits the participant's ability to answer patient reported outcome surveys.
Pregnancy
  • (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) questionnaireDay 1 after consent into the study

    Retrospective acetabular fracture patients will be asked to answer a patient reported outcome questionnaire at a one-time clinic visit. The PROMIS Physical Function T-score is a standardized score derived from a patient's responses. The T-score has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based on a reference population (typically the U.S. general population or a specific clinical group). A T-score above 50 indicates better-than-average physical function. A T-score below 50 indicates below-average physical function.

  • (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) questionnaire2-weeks, post-surgery

    Prospective acetabular fracture patients will receive questionnaires to collect objective patient reported outcomes. The PROMIS Physical Function T-score is a standardized score derived from a patient's responses. The T-score has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based on a reference population (typically the U.S. general population or a specific clinical group). A T-score above 50 indicates better-than-average physical function. A T-score below 50 indicates below-average physical function.

  • (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) questionnaire6-weeks, post-surgery

    Prospective acetabular fracture patients will receive questionnaires to collect objective patient reported outcomes.

The T-score has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, based on a reference population (typically the U.S. general population or a specific clinical group). A T-score above 50 indicates better-than-average physical function. A T-score below 50 indicates below-average physical function.
