The result of this randomized controlled pilot trial indicates that surgical treatment of FFP II fractures in geriatric patients may not be superior to conservative treatment. Non-displaced posterior pelvic ring fractures (FFP II) in an older population may be treated with comprehensive conservative therapy (analgesia and physical therapy with full weight bearing). It is crucial to note that if early mobilization is not possible, a switch to operative treatment should occur promptly, rather than attempting conservative management for an extended period. Vigilant follow-up is essential to prevent prolonged immobilization and detect any fracture progression.The methodology used in this pilot trial may be valuable for designing larger, multi-center trials to confirm these findings and improve clinical decision-making for FFP II fractures in the elderly.
