Abstract
Pelvic injuries represent 3% of skeletal fractures, 40% of them being unstable due to posterior injury. In the past, these fractures were merely diagnosed because of the lack of advanced diagnostic tools, or due to presence of associated injuries, like head injuries, that make diagnosis difficult, which usually occur due to high energy trauma as falling from height or road traffic accidents In the past, conservative treatment was the management of choice in these cases, but with improvement of the diagnostic tools and use of MSCT to diagnose and classify the pelvic ring injuries, better management options became available and conservative management became obsolete. With improvement of diagnostic and surgical options for management of unstable pelvic ring injuries were treated with various methods, till minimally invasive ISSs fixation under fluoroscopic guidance was described in 1973. Since then, ISSs became popular and had many modifications, because, as some authors claim, it represent the only minimally invasive method to fix unstable pelvic fractures with posterior pelvic ring disruptions.
