Background. Among trauma patients, damage to the pelvic bones account for 5 to 10 % of all cases. Such traumas are among the most severe injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The mortality rate for isolated pelvic fractures is from 6 to 19 %, for combined fractures — from 20 to 80 %, the disability — from 40 to 56 %. Unresolved issues concern the treatment of patients with unstable injuries. The purpose of the study: to determine the modern principles of managing victims with unstable combined pelvic injuries, problematic issues and promising ways to solve them. Materials and methods. Analysis of literary sources of PubMed, UpToDate, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, Embase, Global Health, CyberLeninka, RINC databases. Results. Stabilizing surgical interventions are part of the resuscitation the purpose of which is to preserve life by reducing pain reactions and blood loss. During this period, C-clamp, or Ganz clamp, and external fixation devices of various designs are used. However, in case of type C pelvic injuries, fixation of only the ventral part does not provide sufficient stability. Analysis of the effectiveness of percutaneous fixation with 2 iliosacral screws for stabilization of the sacroiliac joint is considered the best method of fixation of the posterior pelvic ring provided that they are placed through three cortical layers. Conclusions. 1. Treatment of patients with unstable combined pelvic injuries is an important medical and socio-economic issue. 2. The priority direction is the treatment of victims with unstable combined type C pelvic injuries using minimally invasive technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
