A newer plate system for internal fixation of un-stable pelvic fractures

Int Surg. 1998 Jan-Mar;83(1):88-90.

Abstract

To fit for internal fixation of unstable fractures of various parts of the curved pelvis, plates of different shapes and sizes were devised. The plates were used in 18 clinical cases. The late complications such as leg length inequality, pelvic obliquity and low back pain were effectively avoided.
