<strong>Pelvic</strong> Ring <strong>Fracture</strong> Types & Fixation<br />
Symphysis Pubis Disruption<br />
Approach:<br />
The Symphysis (Anterior)/Pfannenstiel<br />
approach to the the anterior pelvic<br />
ring represents a standard for ORIF of<br />
a disrupted Symphysis Pubis.<br />
Fixation:<br />
• Isolated Symphysis Pubis Disruptions<br />
can be fixed using a dedicated MPS<br />
Symphysis four-hole or six-hole Plate.<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Symphysis (Anterior) Surgical Approach<br />
(Pfannenstiel Type Aapproach).<br />
Iliac <strong>Fracture</strong><br />
Approach:<br />
<strong>Fracture</strong>s of the Ilium can be operated<br />
through the first window using the<br />
Ilioinguinal approach or a Posterior<br />
<strong>Pelvic</strong> Ring surgical approach is used.<br />
Fixation:<br />
• One 6.5mm partially threaded<br />
cancellous screw is inserted from the<br />
anterior-inferior iliac spine, passing<br />
1cm to 2cm above the acetabulum.<br />
• Additionally a 3.5mm independent<br />
lag screw in the iliac crest is placed<br />
starting from the anterior branch.<br />
• One MPS Straight four-hole Plate can<br />
be used over the fracture line in the<br />
area of the pelvic brim.<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Ilioinguinal or Posterior <strong>Pelvic</strong> Ring Surgical<br />
Approach.<br />
