| Abstract |
Posterior pelvic ring reconstruction can be challenging and controversial. The choice regarding whether to reconstruct and how to reconstitute the pelvic ring is unclear. Many methods provide stability but often are technically difficult and require excessive dissection. DESCRIPTION OF SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: This unique reconstructive technique uses the anterior aspect of the iliac crest with its attached muscle pedicle to provide a biologic scaffold for healing. The construct is secured with pedicle screws into the posterior column and S1 vertebral body with a spinal rod locked in compression. No additional fixation is used proximally into the lumbar spine. The iliac crest remains attached to the gluteus medius, allowing potential abductor function. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 December 2012.
All research outputs
#15,982,793
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research
#5,073
of 7,298 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#116,821
of 192,746 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research
#68
of 143 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,298 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 192,746 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 143 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
