<strong>Pelvic</strong> Ring <strong>Fracture</strong> Types<br />
Pubis Symphysis Disruption<br />
Matta<br />
• Fixation of a pure disruption<br />
of the Symphysis Pubis using<br />
a dedicated MPS four or<br />
six-hole symphysis plate.<br />
A minimum of two 3.5 or 4.5mm<br />
cortical screws on either side of the<br />
symphysis allows for good support.<br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Symphysis (Anterior) surgical approach<br />
(Pfannenstiel Type approach).<br />
Iliac <strong>Fracture</strong><br />
Reduction/Fixation through the Ilioinguinal or Posterior <strong>Pelvic</strong> Ring surgical<br />
approaches.<br />
• One 6.5mm partially threaded<br />
cancellous screw inserted from the<br />
anterior-inferior iliac spine, passing<br />
1cm to 2cm above the acetabulum.<br />
• One 3.5mm independent lag screw in<br />
the iliac crest starting from the anterior<br />
branch.<br />
• One MPS Straight four-hole plate<br />
screwed over the fracture line in the<br />
area of the pelvic brim.<br />
