Lateral Stress Radiographs of Lateral Compression Type 1 Pelvic Injuries, With the Injured Side Down or Up, Reliably Measure Occult Instability

Objectives: To evaluate the interobserver reliability of measured displacement and occult instability of minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) fractures on lateral stress radiographs (LSRs) and to compare differences in displacement between LSR with the injured side down (ID) and up (IU). Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Urban Level 1 trauma center. Patients/Participants: Twenty-three adult patients with minimally displaced (
