Abstract Case:
This case report presents a novel stabilization approach for managing fragility fractures in the dysmorphic sacrum of a 71-year-old male patient. The technique addresses anatomical complexities associated with sacral dysmorphism by employing a photodynamic intramedullary implant.
Conclusion:
The arc-technique utilizing a flexible photodynamic nail enables effective stabilization of the posterior pelvic ring, even in cases involving sacral dysmorphism.
