Comparison of INFIX and Plating for Pelvic Ring Injuries With Symphysis Disruptions
Anterior Pelvic Ring Injury With Symphysis Disruption
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Anterior Pelvic Ring Injury With Symphysis Disruption focused on measuring anterior pelvic ring, symphysis disruption
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- A symphysis disruption either in the coronal and/or sagittal plane on anterior-posterior , inlet and/or outlet pelvic radiographs
- Need for anterior pelvic ring stabilization
- Injury amenable to plating as well as subcutaneous internal fixation per the treating surgeon's opinion
- Patient was ambulatory prior to sustaining the injury
- Provision of informed consent by patient or proxy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with a slim build with little subcutaneous fat who cannot be treated with a subcutaneous internal fixator based on the treating surgeon's opinion
- Patients who are deemed not likely to follow-up (e.g. patients who live more than 50 miles away and patients with no fixed address)
- Moderately or severely cognitively impaired patients
- Pregnant women
- Prisoners
Sites / Locations
- Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital

Patient signed consent and agreed to have their treatment method randomized and the randomization system determined that their surgical intervention would be internal fixator.
Patient signed consent and agreed to have their treatment method randomized and the randomization system determined that their surgical intervention would be internal plating of the symphysis.
Patient signed consent but did not want to randomize their procedure and the treating physician selected the internal fixator intervention based on their opinion of how best to treat the specific case.
