Abstract

We present a new operative procedure using the Cotrel-Dubousset (C-D) instrumentation in unstable sacral fractures, where the vertebral column is dissociated from the pelvis. This technique is based on screw fixation in the ileum and in the first sacral and the fifth lumbar vertebrae or the fifth and fourth lumbar vertebrae, with help of interconnecting rods. 3 patients were successfully treated.
