The aim of this biomechanical study was to compare the stability of retrograde placed cannulated compression headless screw (CCHS) fixation with conventional fully and partially threaded screws for superior pubic ramus fractures (SPRF). The study found that CCHS fixation provided superior stability and could be a better alternative for retrograde SPRF screw fixation.
Background/purposePubic ramus fractures account for the most common types of pelvic fractures. The standard surgical approach for superior pubic ramus fractures (SPRF) is a minimally invasive percutaneous screw fixation. However, percutaneous closed reduction and internal fixation of anterior pelvic ring injuries have high failure rates of up to 15%. The aim of this biomechanical study was to evaluate the stability of SPRF following stabilization with retrograde placed cannulated compression headless screw (CCHS) versus conventional fully and partially threaded screws in an artificial pelvic bone model.MethodsSPRF type II as described by Nakatani et al. was created by means of osteotomies in eighteen anatomical composite hemi-pelvises. Specimens were stratified into three groups of six specimens each (n = 6) for fixation with either a 7.3 mm partially threaded cannulated screw (group RST), a 7.3 mm fully threaded cannulated screw (group RSV), or a 7.5 mm partially threaded cannulated CCHS (group CCS). Each hemi-pelvic specimen was tested in an inverted upright standing position under progressively increasing cyclic axial loading. The peak load, starting at 200 N, was monotonically increased at a rate of 0.1 N/cycle until 10 mm actuator displacement.ResultsTotal and torsional displacement were associated with higher values for RST versus CCS and RSV, with significant differences between RST and CCS for both these parameters (p <= 0.033). The differences between RST and RSV were significant for total displacement (p = 0.020), and a trend toward significance for torsional displacement (p = 0.061) was observed. For both failure criteria 2 mm total displacement and 5 degrees torsional displacement, CCS was associated with significantly higher number of cycles compared to RST (p <= 0.040).ConclusionCCHS fixation presented predominantly superior stability to the standard surgical treatment and could therefore be a possible alternative implant for retrograde SPRF screw fixation, whereas partially threaded screws in group RST were associated with inferior biomechanical stability.
