[A multicenter retrospective study assessing pelvic unlocking closed reduction device for reducing unstable pelvic...

Area of Science:

• Orthopaedic Surgery
• Traumatology
• Medical Device Technology

Background:

• Unstable pelvic posterior ring disruptions pose significant treatment challenges.
• Effective reduction and fixation are crucial for optimal patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the clinical application value and effectiveness of the pelvic unlocking closed reduction device.
• To assess its impact on fracture reduction quality and surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 243 cases of unstable pelvic posterior ring disruption.
• Treatment with a pelvic unlocking closed reduction device across 13 trauma centers.
• Evaluation of fracture reduction quality using Matta scoring and analysis of perioperative indicators.

Main Results:

• An 88.1% excellent-good reduction rate was achieved using the pelvic unlocking closed reduction device.
• The device facilitated intraoperative fluoroscopy and effective pelvic ring correction.
• No surgery-related complications, including secondary fractures or neurovascular injuries, were reported.

Conclusions:

• The pelvic unlocking reduction device is effective for reducing and maintaining reduction in unstable pelvic posterior ring disruptions.
• It supports intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy and precise fixation, meeting surgical demands.
• The system enhances pelvic reduction and fixation procedures.
