Open reduction internal fixation versus percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation for unstable posterior pelvic ring disruptions

Surgical stabilization of posterior pelvic ring fractures can be achieved by either open or closed methods. They all provide a comparable biomechanical stability. The aim of the present study is to compare the clinical results of both techniques for treating posterior pelvic ring injuries. Seventy patients operated for unstable posterior pelvic ring disruptions were retrospectively reviewed. We compared 35 patients treated by open reduction...
