Abstract
BACKGROUND: The changing age distribution in society inevitably leads to a percentage increase in osteoporotic and fatigue fractures as well as the absolute number of insufficiency fractures of the pelvic ring. Due to pain these fractures lead to a loss of mobility and autonomy. To prevent these consequences surgical treatment is increasingly being performed. OBJECTIVE: This article presents a new configuration of an internal fixator on the anterior pelvic ring, the principle of which correlates to a three-point buttressing. METHODS: In addition to a description of the configuration of the internal fixator on the anterior pelvic ring and the surgical technique, the article presents the results after the first 23 applications. RESULTS: The first results after application of the new internal fixator on the pelvic ring show a low risk, sufficient and minimally invasive stabilization with an encouraging clinical and radiological outcome. CONCLUSION: Missing long-term results, also taking into account a higher number of patients, as well as the biomechanical examination of the presented fixator configuration still have to be evaluated.
