|
Herein, we report 5 cases of vertically unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries treated by pediculoiliac fixation. We enrolled 5 patients (male 3, female 2) with vertically unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries treated by pediculo-iliac fixation. Prior to and following the surgery, radiologic results were compared using Matta and Saucedo’s method and the clinical results before and after surgery were compared using the Postel score. The outcomes of radiological evaluation were anatomic reduction in 3 cases and nearly anatomic in 1. The mean postel score at last follow up was very good in 4 cases and poor in 1 case. Lumbosacral pediculo-iliac screw fixation enables early ambulation and it is considered a useful method.
