Anterior square-plate fixation of sacroiliac disruption. 2-8 years follow-up of 23 consecutive cases.
21 consecutive patients with 23 rotationally and vertically unstable sacroiliac joint disruptions were operated on through an anterior approach. Open reduction and internal fixation with a 2-hole square plate was performed. At follow-up after 5 (2-8) years, 18 patients were rated excellent or good and 3 patients poor.
