title: [Analysis of epidemiological features of pelvic fracture].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the epidemiological features of patients with pelvic fractures.
  
  
  METHODS
  The data of patients with pelvic fractures treated between 2003 and 2007 at our hospital were collected and analyzed through the PACS system and case reports checking system. And analytic items included gender, age, injured sites and type of AO or Young-Burgess classification.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 1953 pelvic fractures including 917 males and 930 females were selected and 379 patients hospitalized. The high-risk age of all patients was between 31 and 40 years old. And 81 cases were combined with acetabular fractures and 312 cases other parts fracture. The 61-A type fractures are the most common type fractures of AO classification including 766 males and 853 females. The 61-A2 fracture was one of the most common subtype fractures including 562 males and 433 females. In the Young-Burgess classification, the most common fracture was of APC type including 119 males and 70 females. The APC-I fracture was the most common subtype fractures including 68 males and 41 females.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The current investigation has implied the epidemiological features of pelvic fractures treated between 2003 - 2007 in our hospital.
