Impairment due to Pelvic Fractures

 

If there is a healed fracture without displacement and without residual signs, then there is no impairment to the whole person.

 

If there is a healed fracture with displacement but without residual signs, then impairment of the whole person occurs as follows

(1) symphysis pubis, without separation: 5%

(2) sacrum: 5%

(3) otherwise no impairment is recognized

 

If there is a healed fracture with displacement, deformity, and residual signs, then impairment of the whole person occurs as follows:

	Percent whole person impairment
single ramus	0
rami, bilateral	5
ilium	2
ischium, displaced 1 inch or more	10
symphysis pubis, displaced or separated	15
sacrum, with involvement of the sacroiliac joint	10
coccyx, with nonunion or excision	5

 

If there is a fracture of the ischium with displacement, deformity and residuals signs extending to involve the acetabulum, then an additional impairment may occur due to restricted motion of the hip joint.
