Introduction: Analyzing the different age groups in a population who suffered a pelvic ring fracture it becomes obvious that there are important differences between the pelvic ring lesions of an elderly patient compared to a young adult concerning trauma mechanism, fracture pattern and therapeutic options. In the elderly patient it is very important to achieve maximum of stability if surgery is necessary in order to avoid early failure of the ostheosynthesis under mobilization with full weight bearing. Patients and methods: 15 patients (14 female) with fragility fractures of the pelvis that required surgical stabilization were eligible to participate in this study from December 2012 to December 2014. Such details were documented and analysed as patient demographics, mechanism of injury, fracture classification, operative treatment and postoperative radiological parameters of achieved bone-implant interface. Results: The average age of the patients was 79.9 years (SD 9.0 years). According to Rommens five patients had a fragility fracture of the pelvis Type II-c, one a Type III-c, six a Type IV-b and three a Type IV-c. Four patients were treated by a cement augmented transiliac internal fixation (caTIFI). Seven patients received a cement augmented iliolumbar fixation. In all these patients the Schanz screws applied to the ilium were placed in an oblique dorsoventral direction into the supraacetabular bone canal (mean length of screws 100 +/- 20mm, max. 135mm, min. 70mm). Even though in four patients the iliosacral joint was hit tangential and one cortex perforation without any cement leakage appeared no revision surgery was necessary. Overall the clinical findings including mobilisation with full weight bearing showed a sufficient mechanically stability in all patients. Conclusion: The focus of this study was to describe the modified surgical technique of the caTIFI with placing the Schanz screws from the posterior superior iliac spine to the anterior inferior iliac spine into the supraacetabular bone canal. Usage of cannulated and perforated Schanz screws gives the opportunity to control the correct position of the screws before implanting them. Another advantage is that additional stability can be obtained by cement augmentation. We believe that the new technique of the caTIFI provides a greater intraoperative versatility and a greater mechanical stability for fragility fractures of the pelvis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
