Abstract
To compare the stability and biomechanical characteristics of four commonly used triangular osteosynthesis techniques to treat unilateral vertical sacral fractures and provide a clinical application reference. Finite element models of Tile C-type pelvic ring injury (unilateral Denis II sacral fracture) were produced. In four models, sacral fractures were fixed with a combination of unilateral L5, unilateral L4, and L5 iliac lumbar fixation with lengthened or normal sacroiliac screws. The biomechanical properties of the four fixation models were measured and compared under bipedal stance and lumbar rotation. The fixation stability of the model with the lengthened sacroiliac screw was excellent, and the fracture end was stable. The stability of fixation using unilateral L4 and L5 segments was close to that of unilateral L5 segment fixation. Triangular osteosynthesis transverse stabilization devices using lengthened sacroiliac screws can increase the vertical stability of the sacrum after internal fixation and increase the stability of the fracture. When triangular osteosynthesis lumbar fixation segments were selected, simultaneous fixation of L4 and L5 segments versus only L5 segments did not significantly enhance the vertical stability of the sacrum or the stability of the fracture end.
