[Surgical fixation of displaced pelvic fractures and dislocations of the symphysis pubis (excluding acetabular fractures) (author's transl)].
For many years, the author has advocated systematic surgical fixation of displaced acetabular fractures. In this study he analyses the indications and technique of fixation of pubic dislocations (22 cases), sacro iliac dislocations (18 cases) combined dislocations (5 cases) and pelvic fractures associated with acetabular fractures (48 cases). The choice of a satisfactory approach is important. Accurate reduction and sound fixation is always possible within a week following the trauma, but in some cases operation was made after one month or even later. Surgical management aims to avoid malunion which is difficult to correct.
