Table Skeletal Fixation in Pelvic Ring Reduction
In this article, Dr. Joel Matta and Dr. Jonathan Yerasimides evaluate the use a pelvic frame as a means of external skeletal fixation in fracture cases.
ProFx® Pelvic Reconstruction Orthopedic Fracture Table
PART #6850
ProFx® Pelvic Reconstruction Orthopedic Fracture Table
PART #6850
The ProFx elevates surgery to a new level for the orthopedic trauma surgeon by providing the ideal table complement for any fracture procedure.
Maximized versatility for optimal results
The ProFx table is specifically designed to enhance reduction and fixation of acetabular and pelvic fractures.1,2
Designed to play an integral role in the surgical process, the ProFx table supports the knowledge and skill of the surgeon to minimize procedural challenges through advanced patient positioning, reliable traction capabilities, and outstanding radiolucency.
Surgical reduction of these injuries remains a formidable challenge. Benefits of the table include easier reduction, making closed reduction possible, making open reduction possible through a simpler approach, and making the most difficult reductions possible at all. The narrow contact area the table makes with the pelvic area also enhances access.
