ABSTRACT
Incomplete sacroiliac joint injuries are often associated with external rotation and extension deformities on the injured hemipelvis. To appropriately correct this deformity, an oblique reduction force from caudal to cranial and lateral to medial is helpful. These injuries are often associated with traumatic disruption of the pubic symphysis. However, in injuries without traumatic disruption to the pubic symphysis, a two-pin oblique anterior external fixator can be used to obtain and maintain reduction of the sacroiliac joint, while percutaneous fixation is subsequently placed. Through a small case series and three specific patient examples, we demonstrate that the oblique anterior external fixator frame is a simple and effective strategy with the reduction and stabilization process of these multiplanar hemipelvis deformities.
