Progress of minimally invasive treatment about fragility fractures of pelvis / 中国骨伤

ABSTRACT

With the serious aging of the population, the incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis(FFPs) has gradually increased, which has become a public problem affecting the living quality of the elderly. When a surgical treatment is chosen, the procedure should be as minimal invasive as possible and avoid all surgical complications. In recent years, different techniques for percutaneous or less invasive fixation of the posterior pelvic ring have been developed. Their advantages and limitations are presented sacroplasty, iliosacral screw osteosynthesis, cement augmentation, transiliac internal fixation, transsacral osteosynthesis, lumbopelvic fixation. The purpose of this paper is to review the classification and minimally invasive treatment of FFP.
