Résumé

Continuous compression implants (CCI) are a fixation device formed from nitinol, a shape memory alloy. This alloy is durable enough to augment fixation and combined with its small footprint, versatile enough to insert into areas that are too small for K wires or lag screws to hold a provisional fixation. We used CCIs to successfully stabilize the transverse segments in three posterior column with posterior wall fractures. CCIs can be used to provisionally reduce posterior column with posterior wall acetabular fractures and stabilize small pelvic bone fragments that may be difficult to hold with lag screws. These cases highlight a novel augmentation of the surgical treatment of posterior column with posterior wall fractures.
