Erratum to: Late fixation of vertically unstable type-C pelvic fractures: difficulties and surgical solutions

Treatment of Vertically Unstable Sacral Fractures with Pelvic External Fixation and Skeletal Traction

Objective: To determine the efficacy in treatment of vertically unstable sacral fractures with pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction. Patients and Methods: The pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction were applied on 12 cases of vertically unstable sacral fracture (eight males and four females, at age of 19 52 years, mean 35.2 years) including two cases of Denis Zone I, nine of Z...

A single, midline, extraperitoneal incision for internal fixation of type C unstable pelvic ring fractures.

The functional outcome of surgically treated unstable pelvic ring fractures by open reduction, internal fixation

 Abstract Background: Unstable Pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. The mode of fixation in Unstable Pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. This st...

Fixation of unstable pelvic fractures with minimally invasive adjustable plate

Objective: Unstable pelvic fractures are relatively rare injuries usually requiring reduction and internal fixation. Selecting appropriate methods for unstable pelvic fractures remains a challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. The aim of this study was to present the techniques and outcomes of MIAP for unstable pelvic fractures. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients w...

Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation in unstable pelvic fractures

Surgical treatment of unstable pelvic fractures Type C, has a vertical instability that is not controlled by traction and supine; therefore, orthopedic and functional treatments undertaken by default are sources of complications. The closed reduction with percutaneous sacroiliac fixation solves the problem of vertical instability; but at the cost of learning the method. Five patients with unsta...
