The surgical technique involves careful preoperative planning, precise patient positioning, and meticulous exposure of the posterior pelvic structures. Key steps include osteotomy of the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS), formation of a subcutaneous tunnel, contouring and placement of the plate, and fixation with strategically positioned screws. Additionally, the modified technique incorporates the replacement of the osteotomized PSIS bony fragment, providing secondary stability and minimizing the risk of implant back out. This modification aims to enhance biomechanical stability, reduce implant-related morbidity, and ensure optimal functional outcomes. The technique's efficacy is supported by biomechanical principles and clinical studies, indicating its potential as a promising alternative in the management of unstable pelvic ring injuries.
