Background: Unstable pelvic ring Injuries may arise from various forms of trauma, including motor vehicle collisions, motorbike accidents, people being injured by cars, and falls from elevated surfaces. (Abdelrahman et al., 2020). Unstable pelvic ring injuries may be correlated with hemodynamic disturbance and pelvic organ damage that require appropriate primary care and selection of definitive treatment (Gänsslen et al., 2012; Watkins & Hsu, 2020). The objective of the study is to evaluate the short-term functional outcomes following surgical intervention for unstable pelvic ring injuries.
Subjects and Methodology: Between January 2012 and January 2014, 10 patients with unstable pelvic ring fractures were treated and followed both clinically and radiologically. Seven of our 10 patients had anterior-posterior compression, and three patients had vertical shear. All patients underwent plating of symphyseal pubic diastasis and posterior fixation with iliosacral screws.
Results: All patients were assessed one year after treatment, functionally and radiologically, using the Majeed score. The results were excellent in 4 patients, good in 4, fair in 1, and poor in 1. Radiologically, all fractures were well aligned, with satisfactory healing and stability. No complications were reported.
Conclusion: Stabilization of Unstable pelvic ring fractures treated with anterior plating and posterior stabilization percutaneous iliosacral fixation yields favorable functional and radiographic outcomes.
Keywords: Unstable pelvic ring fracture, open reduction and internal fixation, Majeed score.
