Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

compare functional, radiological outcomes, implant failure and the incidence of recurrent diastasis of single superior symphyseal plate versus double plating in management of vertically unstable open book injuries

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The real algorithm was the necessity for double superior \& anterior plating versus single superior symphyseal plate in management of APC III pelvic ring injuries, whether the incidence of intraoperative and short-term postoperative complications, recurrent diastasis, radiological and functional outcomes differed between these two methods. Our hypothesis was that the use of an additional anterior symphyseal plating could provide a more rigid fixation, with less complications of recurrent diastasis or implant failure. Also it will be applied through the same incision without increasing the patient overall morbidity.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

An independent doctor created the randomization sequence using Excel 2016 (computerized random numbers) with a 1:1 allocation via random block sizes of 2, 4, and 6; he assigned the sample numbers equally to each group and assigned the block. Patients and physicians allocated to each intervention group were aware of the allocation; however, the data analysts and the outcome assessors were kept blinded to the allocation. The investigators prospectively carried out this study on 30 patients with APC III pelvic ring injuries between March 2022 and May 2023 that met our inclusion criteria. The independent doctor allocated the 30 cases to two groups: Group A (15 cases): single superior symphyseal plate, group B (15 cases): double superior \& anterior symphyseal plate

single superior symphyseal plate

15 cases undergoing single superior symphyseal plate, reduction of the posterior ring was either closed reduction in SI joint dislocations \& fracture-dislocations and sacral fractures or open reduction in iliac wing fractures through the lateral window of the ilioinguinal approach.Anterior pelvic ring reduction and fixation was done via the classic Pfannenstiel approach
