In the past orthopedic treatment was preferred, but after 1960 external fixation started to be used in the treatment of these fractures. External fixation is preferred in fractures with moderate displacement and incomplete posterior injuries of pelvic ring. There are lots of types of external fixators: uniplane--easy to apply, but unstable; multiplane--with complex geometry witch offers a more solid fixation, but needs a more complex technique to be applied. | lld:pubmed |
