RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of pubic fractures reducted and fixed thorough the punctiform incision approach.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From 2002 to 2005, 10 cases with 18 fractures of pubis rami (8 male and 2 female) were treated with inserting construction plate by the punctiform incision approach. The average age of these patients was 37.2 years (range, 24 to 56 years). The mean duration between injury and operation was 8.7 days (range, 4 to 14 days).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Internal fixation for eighteen pubis fractures were accomplished by 28 punctiform incisions. The blood loss for each incision was averagely 30 ml, operation time of each pubic was about 45 minutes. Function restoration was evaluated by Majeed' score and all patients gained excellent result.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The fracture of pubic rami can be fixed sucessfully by punctiform incision approach. It provides smaller incision, less postoperative complications and excellent function rehabilitation.</p>
