Complications Following Internal Fixator in the Treatment of Pelvic Fracture.

Orthopedics 2019 January 2
The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the incidence of complications of the internal fixator in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring injury. The literature was comprehensively searched from 1980 to January 2017 to identify potential studies. Six studies involving 272 cases of anterior pelvic ring injury treated with the internal fixator were included in this meta-analysis. The rates of wound infection, heterotopic ossification, nerve paresthesia, pain, and fracture dislocation were 5.7%, 35.1%, 28.2%, 3.7%, and 3.0%, respectively. This new technique should be prudently used to treat pelvic fractures. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(1):e7-e13.].
