Evaluation of Single Symphyseal Plating in APC III Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
Single Versus Double Symphyseal Plating in Management of Vertically Unstable Open Book Pelvic Ring Injuries: A Randomized Controlled Trial
compare functional, radiological outcomes, implant failure and the incidence of recurrent diastasis of single superior symphyseal plate versus double plating in management of vertically unstable open book injuries
The real algorithm was the necessity for double superior & anterior plating versus single superior symphyseal plate in management of APC III pelvic ring injuries, whether the incidence of intraoperative and short-term postoperative complications, recurrent diastasis, radiological and functional outcomes differed between these two methods. Our hypothesis was that the use of an additional anterior symphyseal plating could provide a more rigid fixation, with less complications of recurrent diastasis or implant failure. Also it will be applied through the same incision without increasing the patient overall morbidity. ;
