Abstract
We report a case of bilateral external iliac artery compression after application of subcutaneous anterior pelvic fixation (INFIX) technique in a 51-year-old male with an unstable pelvic fracture sustained following a motor vehicle accident. This has not been previously reported in the literature. The management of this complication is discussed in detail, along with key precautions and technical steps to consider while utilizing the 'INFIX' technique for pelvic fractures.
