Frank, director of the obstetric institute in Cologne, performed in 1894 on a patient who, due to a narrow pelvis, underwent symphysiotomy and who could hardly walk due to nonunion of the pubic articulation, a secondary operation, and he refreshed the articular surfaces of the joint and inserted a piece of bone taken between them them together with a skin flap from the right horizontal branch of the pubic bone.
