Does Lumbopelvic Fixation Add Stability? A Cadaveric Biomechanical Analysis of an Unstable Pelvic Fracture Model

Abstract

The role of LPF in the treatment of complex sacral fractures is supported, especially in the setting of sacral comminution. LPF with proximal fixation at L4 in a hybrid approach might be needed in highly comminuted cases and when only 1 TI-TS screw is feasible to obtain maximum biomechanical support across the fracture zone.
