Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the surgical indications of using locking compression plate (LCP) to fix the posterior pelvic ring fracture,and to explore its surgical techniques.MethodsFrom September 2005 to February 2010,30 patients with posterior pelvic ring fracture were treated with LCP.Among them 21 were males,9 were females,with the average age of 38.7 years(ranged from 21 to 68 years).The injuries were caused by traffic accident in 14 cases,fall-down from high place in 10 cases,smash of heavy object in 6cases.According to Tile classification,4 patients were type B2,8 patients were type B3,12 patients were type C1,5 patients were type C2,and 1 patient was type C3.Concurrent injures including:3 cases with lung contusion; 3 cases with abdominal parenchymatous organs rupture,2 cases with intestinal rupture,5 cases with urethral injury,5 cases with traumatic brain injury,and 8 cases with fractures of limbs,spine and acetabulum.ResultsAll the incisions of 30 patients were healed by first intention.No skin necrosis,fat liquefaction and infection.Thirty cases were followed up from 13 to 40 months,with the average time of 25.1months.According to Majeed functional score system,20 cases were excellent,7 cases were good and 3 cases were acceptable,the excellent and good rate was 90％.Twelve cases got bone healing 3 months after operation,10 cases got bone healing 4 months after operation,and 8 cases got bone healing 6 months after operation.All the cases had no reduction loss,no limb length discrepancy,no deep venous thrombosis,and had not accelerated the previous nerve symptom.ConclusionUsing LCP to fix posterior pelvic ring fracture has many advantages,including wide indication,strong strength of fixation,well biomechanical properties,easy-to-use,and very good follow-up results.
