Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate factors linked to the loss of fixation in retrograde rami screws used to treat minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) pelvic injuries.
- Conducted at a Level 1 trauma center, the research analyzed data from 38 patients, focusing on outcomes such as screw displacement and the need for revision surgery.
- Findings showed that 17.5% of screws experienced loss of fixation, with the use of unicortical rami screws being a significant predictor of this complication.
Objective: The Smith and Nephew mini-EVOS plating system is a mini-fragment, low profile, variable-angled plating system designed to obtain anatomic reduction while also minimizing soft tissue handling. However, literature has been limited in reporting the clinical and surgical outcomes of these specific plates. The goal of our study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Smith and Nephew mini-EVOS plate in pilon fracture management, where significant high energy forces can result in severe fracture patterns and soft tissue injury.
