Abstract:
We present the details of a method of internally fixing diastasis of the pubic symphysis with stout wires and a tension band which can be employed with speed and ease, through a minimal exposure or minimally extended laparotomy wound. The technique is suitable for those with little experience of internal fixation of the pelvis. Our initial cases are presented.
