Internal Fixation for Unstable Pelvic Ring Injuries in Polytrauma Patients

During the period from 1997 to 2008 three hundred twenty two polytrauma patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries were operated on at the department of concomitant and multiple injury of Sclifosovskiy Scientific-Research Institute for Emergency Care. External fixation of pelvic ring fragments was the basic part of antishock therapy. Avulsion of symphysis pubis was treated using original pelvic plate. In multiple pelvic fractures two specially designed reconstructive plates were applied via 2 endopelvic mini approaches. Elaborated treatment tactics enabled to achieve good anatomical and functional results in the majority of patients.
