Management of LC Type I (LC-1) Pelvic Injuries with Complete Sacral Fracture: Comparison of Solitary Anterior Fixation with Combined Anterior-Posterior Fixation

Figure 1

A 43-year-old female presenting with pelvic ring fractures (Young and Burgess LC-1/Tile B2). Preoperative AP view (a), inlet view(b), and outlet view(c) showed both pubic rami and a transforaminal sacral fracture on the left side. The CT scan (d) and 3D-reconstruction (e) showed the sagittal fracture line across the anterior and posterior cortex of S2 with minimal displacement. The pubic rami fractures were fixed through modified Stoppa approach. At final follow-up, the radiographs (f–h) and functional photographs (i) showed that the fractures healed, and the function recovered well.
