Posterior tension band plate osteosynthesis for unstable sacral fractures: A preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stable reduction and rigid fixation of the sacrum and posterior ring structures are of paramount importance in the management of complex pelvic ring disruptions, Tile B and C. The major concern with the use of conventional methods, like iliosacral screws and iliolumbar fixations is the increased risk for surgical and implant-related morbidity, especially in difficult situations, such as comminuted, bilateral sacral fractures, and fractures in the dysmorphic sacrum. Although various biomechanical studies have reported the posterior trans-iliac plates to provide maximum resistance to distracting forces by the principle of tension band, the literature pertaining to this implication in clinical studies has been limited. The purpose of our study was to assess the efficacy o
