Abstract:
In the treatment of pelvic ring and acetabular fractures percutaneous screw osteosynthesis provides the advantage of minimal soft tissue damage. The techniques are frequently used in combination with open osteosynthesis and less frequently as stand-alone procedures. A preoperative planning with the aid of computed tomography (CT) and knowledge of the intraoperative radiological fluoroscopy adjustment are prerequisites for an accurate placement of the screws. This article describes the indications and techniques for frequently used percutaneous screws.
