Forty-five patients with an unstable fracture of the pelvic ring, for whom the conventional treatment would have been bed rest with skeletal traction or with a pelvic sling, were treated with the Hoffmann external-fixation apparatus. In eighteen fractures of the lateral compression type and fourteen fractures of the anteroposterior compression type, the treatment was successful. Proximal migration of the hemipelvis occurred in four of the eleven patients with a fracture of the unilateral shear type. There were two deaths from associated injuries.
45例骨盆环不稳定骨折患者，若采用传统治疗方法应为卧床行骨骼牵引或使用骨盆悬带，现采用霍夫曼外固定器进行治疗。其中，18例侧方压缩型骨折和14例前后位压缩型骨折的治疗取得成功。11例单侧剪切型骨折患者中有4例出现半骨盆近端移位。有2例患者因合并伤死亡。
