Abstract：Objective To discuss feasibility and clinical effect of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in treatment of unstable anterior pelvic ring fractures. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on data of eight patients with pelvic fractures, including five males and three females at age of 21-57 years (average 38 years). All fractures were identified as unstable type according to Tile classification. MIPPO was performed for all patients after closed reduction. Reduction effect was analyzed according to Matta radiological evaluation criterion. Results All patients were followed up for 3-5 months (average 4.1 months), which showed reduction of anterior pelvic ring in eight patients including satisfactory reduction in five patients and good reduction in three. Fractures in all patients obtained bony union without complications like vascular nerve injury, wound infection, intraoperative massive hemorrhage, deep venous thrombosis or postoperative long-term pain. Conclusion MIPPO has advantages of reduced bleeding, few soft tissue complications, low infection rate and easy removal in treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures and thereby is a promising surgical method.
