Popis: Objective To be able to treat irreducible unilateral vertically displaced pelvic ring disruption (UVDPRD) using closed reduction, we introduced a technique named Unlocking Closed Reduction Technique (UCRT) and evaluated its effectiveness with improved pelvic closed reduction system (PCRS). Methods A retrospective study was performed in our department. Between January 2014 and December 2017, 43 patients whose UVDPRD were not successfully reduced using transcondylar traction. Subsequently, they were treated with UCRT using improved PCRS. The study included 19 male and 24 female patients, with a mean age at the time of the operation of 46.2 years. During surgery, operation time and blood loss were recorded. Post‐surgical reduction quality was evaluated using Matta scoring criteria and patient lower‐extremity functional outcome was evaluated using Majeed functional scoring criteria. Results When used with improved PCRS, UCRT achieved pelvic reduction in all 43 cases of irreducible UVDPRD with postoperative pelvic reduction quality rated excellent and good for 42/43 (97.6%) patients according to the Matta scoring criteria (Matta Score
Unlocking Closed Reduction Technique (UCRT) first unlocks the dislocated iliosacral joint or overlapping edges of the sacral fracture through a force generated by framed‐based unlocking reduction device (FBURD) that pulls the posterior ilium laterally and then corrects the cranial and posterior displacement of posterior ring through transcondylar traction force.
