Simplified Repair of Traumatic Iliac Crest Flank Hernias with Mesh Strips

Conclusions: Traumatic flank hernias are rare injuries that can be difficult to address. Here, we describe a technique of primary repair with mesh strips that distribute the forces of repair across a greater surface area than can be achieved with sutures. Placing drill holes through the iliac crest avoids the cost and complexity of suture anchors.
