Posterior tension band plate osteosynthesis for unstable sacral fractures: A preliminary study

ConclusionThe posterior trans-iliac plate is a minimally invasive and safe procedure that can be used in a wide range of unstable sacral fractures with notably less implant failure rate. The rigid posterior construct restores the principle tension between the iliac blades and minimizes the secondary displacement of the anterior disrupted structures, thereby useful in managing ring disruptions with surgical site morbidity.
