The applications of Selçuk type pelvic external fixator in the treatment of unstable pelvic ring injuries

Abstract

16 patients with unstable fractures of the pelvis were treated using a new and simple trianguler anterior frame external fixator which was designed in our clinic. According to Tile classification, there were 6 type B-1, 3 type B-3, 5 type C-1 and 2 type C-3 injuries. Since two patients died Iater, 14 patients could be evaluated. The patients were followed for an average of 16. 7 months following injury. The clinically results were satisfactory in 12 patients (85. 7%) and unsatisfactory in 2 patients (14.3%). Biomechanical tests of the fixator (Selçuk type pelvic external fixator, SPEF) were carried out on cadaveric pelves. The clinical and biomechanical results suggested that the SPEF is readily applicable and safe. Therefore, we conclude that this method may be preferable for most of unstable pelvic ring injuries.
