Quality of life poor 2 years after pelvic, acetabular fracture.

The article discusses a study on the quality of life (QOL) of patients who sustained pelvic or acetabular fractures conducted by Tomas Borg and colleagues in Sweden. They found that at 2 years postinjury, the patients' physical and mental domain scores and sexual life based on the SF-36 and LiSat-11 questionnaires never really recovered from the injury. Lead investigator Sune Larsson also noted that the outcomes aspect of the study needed to be rigorous in order to sufficiently describe results from the patients' perspective.
