Closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures of type C2 and C3 / 中华骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the surgical indications, techniques and methods of closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile C2 and C3, and evaluate the clinical efficacy.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the data of 20 cases with Tile C2 and C3 pelvic fractures treated with closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation from January 2016 to July 2019. There were 7 males and 13 female, with an average age of 35.6±14.6 years (range 12-60 years). The time from injury to operation was 5-30 d, with an average of 19.3±7.1 d. Tile classification of pelvic fracture 13 cases of C2 type and 7 cases of C3 Type. 2 cases were complicated with ipsilateral or bilateral lumbosacral nerve injury. Classification of nerve injury 2 cases were partial injury, British Medical Research Council (BMRC) Grade M3. The operation is treated with closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation. First, the side with obvious displacement is fixed on the operating table with a pelvic reduction frame, and the side with less displacement is traction. After reduction, insert S 1 and S 2 sacroiliac screw guide-pin on this side to the contralateral sacral fracture. And then change the traction, fix the reset side on the operating table, change the side with obvious traction displacement, after the reset is ideal, pass the inserted guide-pin through the contralateral sacroiliac joint to the outer iliactable. Then insert the sacroiliac screw. The patients complicated with acetabular fracture were reduced and fixed by the corresponding approach, and the anterior ring was fixed by INFIX. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative complications were recorded. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by Matta's criteria, and the clinical effect was evaluated by Majeed score. Results:All the 20 patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 105-210 min, with an average of 167.00±31.21 min. The intraoperative bleeding volume was 30-100 ml, with an average of 82.00±5.36 ml. Postoperative X-ray and CT showed that the fracture was reduced and fixed. According to the Matta's criteria, the reduction quality was rated as excellent in 14 cases, good in 4 case, fair in 2 case, with an excellent and good rate of 90%. Two patients showed symptoms of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury without other complications related to surgery. Follow-up for 1 to 4 years, the fractures healed, and the healing time was 6 to 12 weeks. According to the Majeed score, the result was rated as excellent in 18 cases, good in 2 case, with an excellent and good rate of 100%.Conclusion:Closed reduction and minimally invasive fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures of type C2 and C3, with the characteristics of less damage and good results, will become a trend in the treatment of pelvic fractures.
