Purpose

The measurement of functional outcomes in pelvic fracture patients remains difficult for authors. We aimed to test the construct validity, respondent burden, and patient perception of three previously published pelvic outcome questionnaires.

Method

Subjects completed three pelvic specific, and three general functional outcome instruments. Time for each pelvic instrument was recorded, as was which score the patient felt best addressed their symptoms. Patients stated the three most significant impacts the pelvic fracture had on their life.
