  • Title: Percutaneous fixation of the pelvic ring: an update.
    Author: Giannoudis PV, Tzioupis CC, Pape HC, Roberts CS.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 2007 Feb; 89(2):145-54. PubMed ID: 17322425.
    Abstract:
    With the development of systems of trauma care the management of pelvic disruption has evolved and has become increasingly refined. The goal is to achieve an anatomical reduction and stable fixation of the fracture. This requires adequate visualisation for reduction of the fracture and the placement of fixation. Despite the advances in surgical approach and technique, the functional outcomes do not always produce the desired result. New methods of percutaneous treatment in conjunction with innovative computer-based imaging have evolved in an attempt to overcome the existing difficulties. This paper presents an overview of the technical aspects of percutaneous surgery of the pelvis and acetabulum.
