Symphysiodesis with a new compression plate.
A specially designed compression plate has been used in symphysiodesis for chronic symphysiolysis with pelvic pain and discomfort suspected to be due to pelvic instability. Eight patients have been operated with this technique, and stable symphysiodesis was achieved in all. No signs of plate loosening were observed in any case.
