ABSTRACT:
An external fixator frame for reducing pelvic fractures consisting of a rectangular horizontal frame connecting to the pelvis through removable pins (FIG. 2). A ratchet or compressive horizontal arm of the frame is used to rapidly insert the pins into the pelvis and simultaneously reduce the pelvic fracture by applying compression across it. The rapidity and simplicity of application permits early use in an emergency setting prior to other studies and treament modalities.
