A novel percutaneous crossed screws fixation in treatment of Day type II crescent fracture–dislocation: A finite element analysis

ConclusionsWith sufficient biomechanical stability and minimally invasive advantage, percutaneous crossed screw fixation is a recommended treatment for Day Type-II Crescent Fracture–dislocation. It is recommended to fix crescent fracture fragment and sacroiliac joint simultaneously during the operation. If it is difficult to fix the both position, the sacroiliac joint is preferentially fixed.The translational potential of this articleThere is a controversy on the operative approach and fixation technique of Day type-II crescent fracture–dislocation. This article proves that percutaneous crossed screw fixation is a recommended treatment for Day type-II crescent fracture–dislocation by finite element analysis.
