The presented research focuses on bone injuries in the region of human pelvic ring. A special attention is paid to fractures that usually occur during high-energy impact events such as car accidents or sports injuries.
Herein, minimally invasive internal fixation techniques that support the fractured bone structures are investigated. A unilateral transforaminal sacral bone fracture (Denis type II) is selected as the reference case for this study.
The mechanical response of the pelvic ring treated using a number of sacral bone fixation techniques is quantified. Both experimental and computational analysis are conducted.
