However, implant failure or recurrent diastasis was commonly observed during follow-up. The aim of our study was to evaluate the radiologic findings and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Sixty-five patients with traumatic pubic symphysis diastasis treated with plating between 2008 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The exclusion criteria were a history of malignancy and age under 20\u00a0years. Radiographic outcomes were determined by radiograph findings, including pubic symphysis distance (PSD) and implant failure. Clinical outcomes were assessed according to the Majeed score at the final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Twenty-eight patients were finally included. Nine patients (32%) experienced implant failure, including four (14%) with screw loosening and five (18%) with plate breakage. Only one patient underwent revision surgery. Postoperatively, a significant increase in PSD was observed at 3\u00a0months and 6\u00a0months. Postoperative PSD was not significantly different between patients with single plating and double plating, but it was significantly greater in the implant-failure group than in the non-failure group. The Majeed score was similar between patients with single plating and double plating or between the implant-failure group and the non-failure group. Body mass index, number of plates, age, and initial injured PSD were not significantly different between the implant-failure group and the non-failure group. Only a significant male predominance was observed in the implant-failure group.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A gradual increase in the symphysis distance and a high possibility of implant failure may be the distinguishing features of traumatic pubic symphysis diastasis fixation.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>The postoperative symphyseal distance achieved stability after 6\u00a0months, even after implant failure.
