External fixation in the treatment of pelvic fractures

Abstract:
External fixation with MONO-Tube was used 68 times for the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures. The device was efficient in stabilizing the fracture and controlling the shock. It can be used as far final treatment in type LC1, APC1, APC2 and partly APC3 fractures, what supports an earlier observation by Young-Burgess. Other fractures usually need to be operated and the external fixation should only be treated as an initial procedure before surgery.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
