Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation in unstable pelvic fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surgical treatment of unstable pelvic fractures Type C, has a vertical instability that is not controlled by traction and supine; therefore, orthopedic and functional treatments undertaken by default are sources of complications. The closed reduction with percutaneous sacroiliac fixation solves the problem of vertical instability; but at the cost of learning the method. Five patients with unstable pelvic fractures; were treated by percutaneous sacroiliac fixation. This reliable and useful method in the stabilization of unstable pelvic fractures. Good functional results are predictable based on the severity of pelvic fractures and associated injuries. The low rates of complications and the minimally invasive nature are the advantages of this method.

Percutaneous iliosacral screws are useful in treating vertical posterior pelvic fractures and iliosacral disruptions. Iliosacral screws are far less invasive than spinopelvic fixation, and result in much lower morbidity. However, safe placement of the iliosacral screws is technically difficult and highly dependent on fracture reduction and adequate fluoroscopy. Inaccurate placement can result i...

BACKGROUND Unstable posterior ring injuries of the pelvis are a challenge to pelvic surgeons, and their treatment has been controversial. The functional outcomes of such injuries following either percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation or conservative treatment remain to be elucidated. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 32 consecutive patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries w...

Unstable pelvic fractures are usually associated with high impact energy trauma. As to surgical procedures the most frequently used methods are open reduction and inner fixation (ORIF), the other methods of stabilizing the unstable posterior pelvic ring are percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation under fluoroscopic control and CT-guided percutaneous fixation. The last mentioned procedure elimina...
