    Large database retrospective studies are routinely conducted using ICD-9 or ICD 10 coding as the basis for identifying patients by diagnosis despite inaccurate data. This study assesses the reliability of ICD-10 coding of medical diagnoses in orthopedic trauma patients and determines how accurately the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), a measure of the patient's burden of disease and mortality risk, can be calculated based on ICD-10 diagnostic codes. The information gained in this study is useful to educate physicians and researchers regarding the limitations of this coding system when drawing conclusions from available data.

    There is considerable variation in the management of FFP, especially in diagnostic and treatment strategies, among experts in the field of pelvic surgery. This is due, in part, to a lack of high-quality studies and clinical practice guidelines. According to surveyed experts, there is a need to develop evidence-based guidelines for optimal management of FFP. In the meantime, orthopedic practitioners should have an awareness of the significant burden and impact of FFP on patients and healthcare systems.
