OBJECTIVES: To evaluate variables associated with loss of fixation of retrograde rami screws in the treatment of stress-positive minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) injuries.
METHODS:.
DESIGN: Retrospective comparative study.
SETTING: Level 1 trauma center.
PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA: Stress-positive minimally displaced (<1 cm) LC1 pelvic ring injuries treated with retrograde rami screws.
OUTCOME MEASURES AND COMPARISONS: Loss of fixation, defined as >5 mm of pelvic fracture displacement based on the radiographic tear-drop distance or >5 mm of implant displacement on follow-up radiographs; revision surgery for loss of fixation.
RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients with 40 retrograde rami screws were analyzed. Median patient age was 64 years (interquartile range 42.5-73.3 years), 71.1% (n = 27/38) were female, and 52.6% (n = 20/38) of injuries were secondary to low-energy mechanisms. Loss of fixation occurred in 17.5% (n = 7/40) of screws with 10% (n = 4/40) requiring revision surgery. On univariate analysis, patients who had a loss of fixation were more likely to have greater dynamic displacement on stress radiographs (22.0 vs. 15.2 mm; median difference 5.6 mm, confidence interval [CI] -19.2 to 10.3; P = 0.04), unicortical rami screws (71.4% vs. 9.1%; proportional difference 62.3%, CI 8.8%-22.6%; P = 0.001), and partially threaded rami screws (71.4% vs. 21.2%; proportional difference 50.2%, CI 10.0%-77.6%; P = 0.01). The remaining variables had no observed association ( P ≥ 0.05) with loss of fixation, including age, sex, body mass index, energy of injury mechanism, tobacco use, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, sacral fracture type, distal rami fractures, rami comminution, number of sacral screws, fully threaded sacral screws, transsacral screws, or rami screw diameter. On multivariate analysis, only unicortical rami screws ( P = 0.01) remained associated with loss of fixation.
CONCLUSIONS: Retrograde rami screws had a high rate of loss of fixation in minimally displaced LC1 pelvic ring injuries, and this was associated with unicortical screws. These screws should be avoided when possible.
