INTERNAL FIXATION FOR FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS OF THE PELVIS

Gordon Whiston M.D.1

1 Casper, Wyoming

In two types of pelvic injuries—fractures of the iliac wing and separation of the symphysis pubis—internal fixation with stainless-steel pins has given satisfactiory results. This technique would appear to be easier and less time-consuming than the use of other types of fixation. No complications have arisen in the cases in which this has been used. The number of cases is small, as the necessity for operative reductions in pelvic injuries is rare.
