An elderly woman with a pelvic ring fragility fracture, unresponsive to conservative care, successfully underwent novel photodynamic bone stabilization and CT-fluoroscopy-assisted fixation. This innovative approach led to stable fracture healing within four months post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Trauma Management
- Biomaterials in Medicine
Background:
- Pelvic ring fractures are common in elderly individuals, often resulting from low-energy trauma.
- Fragility fractures of the pelvis can lead to significant pain and mobility issues.
- Conservative management strategies may not always be effective for these fractures.
