Product Overview
The operative management of pelvic ring disruptions has always represented a challenge to the treating surgeon. The sufficient stabilization of such an injury requires both a profound knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis and an understanding of the mechanism of fracture. The chosen technique of a posterior stabilization depends on the one hand on the kind of fracture, and on the other hand on the personal experience of the individual operator. Threaded rods as fixators of posterior pelvic ring instability have been well known and well proven for a long time, especially for sacral fractures in all three zones and for detachments of the SI joint. The stability of Sacral Rods has been proved in numerous studies, and in many investigations the rods have been used as a “gold standard“ and reference value. In the case of type C injuries, surgical intervention has first to be ventrally undertaken as a rule by means of plate osteosynthesis. With the present technically perfected armamentarium, the technique has been standardized and considerably simplified. The use of titanium plates imposes no restrictions on postoperative imaging diagnostics.
