This research aims to evaluate the retrograde medullary screw technique for stabilizing anterior pelvic ring disruptions.
26 patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries were treated with retrograde medullary screws.
Screws were inserted post-reduction either through closed manipulation or open surgery.
Complications and early results were documented for the first 26 patients.
All fractures healed successfully without infections and minimal blood loss.
One screw was misplaced, identified only through postoperative imaging.
One patient needed reoperation for symptomatic screw disengagement.
