[Pelvic Surgery 2.0 - Navigated, Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis of a Pelvic Ring Fracture]

Pelvic injuries have increased in frequency over the last few decades, whether due to high-impact trauma or minor trauma in geriatric patients. Treatment ranges from conservative measures to surgical interventions. With the use of minimally invasive surgical procedures, the importance of navigated pelvic surgery also increases.In the case shown, an anterior and posterior pelvic ring fracture is surgically treated using O-Arm. Navigation helps with complex anatomy and facilitates intraoperative verification of the correct implant position, from which less experienced teams in particular can benefit. Increased precision reduces the revision rate. However, it requires a longer operation time and good interdisciplinary training, as well as special coordination with the surgical and anesthesia staff.This video demonstrates our step-by-step procedure for navigated screw osteosynthesis of a pelvic ring fracture.
