Abstract

Minimally invasive reduction of lateral compression type 2 (LC-2) pelvic ring fractures is not well described [1]. While the gold standard remains open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws, this technique is associated with notable risks, including significant blood loss, nerve injury, wound dehiscence, and postoperative infection [1-3]. A minimally invasive technique of fracture reduction and fixation for LC-2 fractures is presented, with emphasis on imaging to visualize realignment of the reduced ilium.
