Biomechanical analysis of anterior pelvic ring fractures with intact peripelvic soft tissues: a cadaveric study.

Purpose: Biomechanical studies of the pelvis are usually performed using dissected pelvic specimens or synthetic bones. Thereby the stabilising effect of the surrounding soft tissues is analysed insufficiently. Biomechanical data for isolated anterior pelvic ring fractures are currently missing.

Accuracy of navigated and conventional iliosacral screw placement in B- and C-type pelvic ring fractures.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to report the institutions experiences with standardized 2D computer-navigated percutaneous iliosacral screw placement (CNS), as well as the conventional fluoroscopically assisted screw placement method (CF) over a period of 10 years.

Patients And Methods: A total of 604 patients with sacral fractures (OTA B and C) were treated at the institution. Cases with both, a preoperative and postoperative CT scan were included for further analysis.
