OBJECTIVES: The effect of three-dimensional (3D) printed bone-attached guide plate assisted cannulated screw fixation of pelvic fracture is reliable, but extensive soft tissue dissection is still required when installing the guide plate. This study aims to compare the efficacy of posterior pelvic ring fracture fixation with iliosacral screw insertion between the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template and conventional fluoroscopy. METHODS: From May, 2019 and September 2021, 28 patients sustained posterior pelvic ring fractures were randomized into 2 groups: A guide template group, in which the iliosacral screw was inserted for fixation of the posterior pelvic ring fracture with the assistance of modified percutaneous patient specific 3D printed guide template, and a fluoroscopy group, in which the iliosacral screw was inserted under the guidance of conventional fluoroscopy...
