The study proposes a system to assess functional outcomes after major pelvic injuries. The system, derived from a five‑year prospective study of 60 patients, scores five factors—pain, standing, sitting, sexual activity, and work performance—to produce a clinical grade of excellent, good, fair, or poor. The scoring system enables comparison of early versus late outcomes and of different treatment methods.
A system for assessment of function after major pelvic injuries is proposed. This numerical system developed from a five-year prospective study of 60 patients. Five factors were assessed and scored: pain, standing, sitting, sexual intercourse and work performance. The total score then gave a clinical grade as excellent, good, fair or poor. The scoring system allows comparison between early and late results and also between various methods of treatment.
