Abstract

Objective of surgery: High primary stability of the pelvic girdle with full weight bearing. Indications: Instability and immobility in patients with osteoporotic fractures of the pelvis. Contraindications: Decubitus ulcers, infections. Surgical technique: Minimally invasive posterior locked compression plate 4.5 LCP (locked compression plate, DePuy Synthes, Zuchwil, Switzerland). Follow-up: Immediate mobilization with full weight bearing, X‑ ray control. Evidence: The follow-up examination of a collective of 34 patients showed no implant loosening and a relatively low radiation exposure.
