Abstract:
Introduction: Unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries are best
treated with operative methods due to better post-op
functional score. Our patient cohort was involved in heavy
manual laboring frequently required ground level work in
their activities of daily living. There are very few outcome
studies dealing exclusively with such patients.
Materials & Methods: Forty one patients who were treated
with percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation under
fluoroscopic guidance and were followed-up for at least one
year were analyzed retrospectively for functional outcome
using the Majeed score.
Results: Twenty one (51.22%) and thirteen (31.70%) patients
were found to be in excellent and good categories
respectively and majority of the patients (thirty/73.17%)
were able to return to their original occupation with or
without minor adjustments.
Conclusion: Percutaneous ilio-sacral screw fixation for
posterior pelvic unstable injuries is an acceptable mode of
treatment in patients involved in heavy manual laboring.
