Standard Pelvic External Fixator-Two Section Type
Introduction: The application of an external fixator for unstable pelvic
fractures is an important component of many resuscitation
protocols. Moreover, certain pelvic fractures may be treated with
an external fixator without requiring further internal fixation. We
report our initial clinical results with an alternate pelvic
external fixator site,
Application of external fixation for major pelvic trauma is an
important component of many resuscitation protocols, with the goal
of stabilizing the pelvis to control hemorrhage, decrease blood
transfusions rates, and improve survival rates. The procedure
should be simple, quick, have minimal risk of complications, and be
reproducible for surgeons who may rarely require its use in
regional settings. Moreover, certain pelvic fractures may be
treated with an external fixator without requiring further internal
fixation.

Application:
Although the contemporary literature includes new concepts such as
safe definitive surgery, early appropriate care, and prompt
individualized safe management , to ensure more stable and reliable
fixation, definitive open reduction and internal fixation are
usually performed during the “window of opportunity” after
resuscitation and restoration of physiologic condition . However,
the patient’s physiologic condition may not recover sufficiently to
support pelvic fracture surgery within the window of opportunity.
Because pelvic fracture surgery with an extended approach is
time-consuming and associated with numerous complications, this
aggressive surgical impact during the acute phase as part of early
total care can induce a “second hit” . In contrast, external
fixation and various percutaneous screw fixations are minimally
invasive surgical procedures that minimize secondary complications.
