Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of external fixators in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures( Tile B and Tile C ). Methods The different results of 78 patients who had been treated with or without external fixator were compared. Results In 38 cases who were treated without external fixator, the cure rate for hemorrhagic shock was 76%, the mortality 10.6%, and the average ISS score 11.6. In 40 cases who were treated with external fixator, the cure rate for hemorrhagic shock was 90%, the mortality 2.5%, and the average ISS score 9.8. Conclusion The treatment of unstable pelvic fracture with external fixator is simple and reliable, and can reduce the mortality significantly.
