Internal fixator vs external fixator in the management of unstable pelvic ring injuries: A prospective comparative cohort study

Figure 2 17-year-old girl sustained a Tile C type pelvic fracture after fall from a height of 6 m. A: Pelvis antero-posterior (AP) X-ray view and sagittal computed tomography scans showing sacral and ramus fractures on the Rt. Side; B: The pelvic fracture was fixed using a fully threaded sacroiliac screw and an internal fixator (INFIX); C: 3-mo follow-up pelvic X-ray (AP, inlet and outlet) views showing complete union. The INFIX was removed 2 mo later in the OR; D: One-year follow-up X-ray. The patient had excellent function with complete return to her prefracture activity level.
