title: Internal fixation of pelvic ring fractures.
abstract: The orthopedic care of unstable pelvic fractures requires reduction and stabilization in order to promote union in a satisfactory position and provide a satisfactory clinical result. The results of three treatment techniques, skeletal traction and/or pelvic sling, anterior frame external fixation, and internal fixation, were evaluated over a four-year period.
