Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of external fixator combined with limited internal fixation for Tile B pelvic fractures.
Methods:
Fourteen patients with Tile B pelvic fracture were treated by external fixator combined with limited internal fixation between September 2004 and June 2009.
Results:
All the patients were followed for 6-49 (20.2 +/- 10.2) months. According to the Matta standard, the outcome of 9 patients was excellent, 4 patients were good, while the other one patient was fair.
Conclusion:
External fixator combined with limited internal fixation is effective for Tile B pelvic fracture. It can not only reduce the anatomic position of the pelvis, but also strengthen the stability of the pelvis as a whole. This method is less invasive and traumatic, which promotes the recovery of patients.
