Biomechanical Stability of Sacroiliac Screw Osteosynthesis with and without Cement Augmentation
Posterior pelvic ring fractures are common injuries that can cause persistent pain and that can sometimes result in acute neurologic damage [1]. They may occur as a result of high-energy trauma in younger individuals or as fragility fractures after low-energy trauma in geriatric patients with osteoporosis. As a result of higher life expectancy, the incidence of fragility fractures has increased over time [2], which has resulted in changes to the therapeutic management of this type of fractures.
