Application of external fixators (EF) in pelvic fractures is one of the important components of antishock therapy in patients with polytrauma. However various fixation techniques possess certain advantages and disadvantages. Comparative analysis of 4 most commonly used variants of pelvic EF mounting, i.e. classic - via upper flaring portion of the ilium, supra-acetabular, orthogonal - combination of screws passes through the wings and supra-acetabular region, and subcristal, that were applied in 32, 48, 13 and 3 patients, was performed. Results of the analysis showed that supra-acetabular pelvic fixation technique a preferable one due to its high efficacy and lower rate of complications as compared to other external fixation methods.
