Abstract
From 1984 to 1995, 37 patients with nonunion, malunion, and combined nonunion malunion of the pelvic ring were treated. Included among the patients were many different initial injury patterns and subsequent variable combinations of malunion and malpositioned nonunion. The typical surgical repair was performed in multiple stages and often created uniquely to solve a patient's particular problem. Thirty-two of 37 patients were satisfied with their outcome, although 19% of the patients suffered complications.
