External fixation was used in 42 patients as the sole definitive treatment for their unstable pelvic fractures. At an average follow-up of 40 months, the anatomical outcome was related to the functional outcome using defined criteria. The functional results were better than the anatomical results. Function improved during the first 18 months and thereafter was stable. The stab and percutaneous techniques for pin insertion had lower rates of infection than the incisional technique. External fixation has a definite role in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures. In contrast to internal fixation, this method has two major advantages: safety and simplicity.

A system for assessment of function after major pelvic injuries is proposed. This numerical system developed from a five-year prospective study of 60 patients. Five factors were assessed and scored: pain, standing, sitting, sexual intercourse and work performance. The total score then gave a clinical grade as excellent, good, fair or poor. The scoring system allows comparison between early and late results and also between various methods of treatment.
