Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Trauma surgery

Context:

  • Instable anterior pelvic ring fractures require effective fixation.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred to reduce complications.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of a novel minimally invasive technique for pelvic fracture fixation.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 19 patients using a pelvic subcutaneous cross-over internal fixator demonstrated good to excellent outcomes in 31.6% and moderate in 63.2%.
  • The technique involves supra-acetabular screw fixation and subcutaneous rod insertion for internal osteosynthesis.
  • Complications included minor wound infection, screw loosening, and temporary nerve lesions, with benefits of reduced surgical time and improved patient comfort.
