Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the health outcomes associated with patients who have sustained pelvic fractures subsequent to surgical intervention. Methods: We recruited (95) pelvic fracture patients aged 26–43 years who were surgically treated at various hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq, between 2024 and 2025. Demographic, diagnostic, and clinical data were recorded by obtaining data from the patients' medical records at the hospitals. Patients' general health was assessed using multiple questionnaires for pain, mobility, and quality of life. Results: A total of medical records were enrolled of 95 women with pelvic fractures were enrolled in this current study. We found 52.63% of women had pelvic fractures in moderate grade, surgery time (ORIF) was 135 ± 30 min, length of stay in hospital ≥ 3 days had 5.26% cases, mortality rate included 2 cases, pain score on discharge was 2 ± 0.5, and post-operative complications had 15.79%. The most common complication prevalent was malunion with 7 cases, and the most improvement domains in quality - life were physical functioning, which was 85 ± 10. Conclusion: Our study indicates that open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is the most effective and optimal intervention for improving the overall health of patients in terms of reducing complications and pain rates, which positively impacts functional recovery and patients' quality of life</span><span>.</span></p>
