A finite element model of a normal pelvis containing major ligaments was built and validated (Model 1). Based on the verified normal pelvis finite element model, a Tile C1 pelvic fracture model was established (Model 2), and then a plate fixation model (Model 3) and a pedicle screw fixation model with different screw placement methods and diameters were established (Models 4\u201315). For all pelvic fracture fixation models, a vertical load of 500 N was applied on the upper surface of the sacrum to test the displacement and stress distribution of the pelvis in the standing state with both legs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The finite element simulation results showed the maximum displacement of Model 1 and Models 3\u201315 to be less than 1 mm. The overall maximum displacement of Models 4\u201315 was slightly larger than that of Model 3 (the maximum difference was 177.91\u00d710<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>mm), but the maximum displacement of iliac bone and internal fixation in Models 4\u201315 was smaller than that of Model 3. The overall maximum stress (maximum stress of the ilium) and maximum stress of internal fixation in Models 4\u201315 were less than those in Model 3. The maximum displacement difference and maximum stress difference at the fracture of the pubic ramus between each fixed model were less than 0.01 mm and 1 MPa, respectively. The greater the diameter and number of pedicle screws were, the smaller the maximum displacement and stress of the pelvic fracture models were.The maximum displacement and stress of the pelvic fracture models of the screws placed on the injured side of the pubic region were smaller than the screws on the healthy side.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both the anterior and posterior pelvic rings are fixed with a pedicle screw rod system for treatment of Tile C1 pelvic fractures, which can obtain sufficient biomechanical stability and can be used as a suitable alternative to other implants.The greater the diameter and number of pedicle screws were, the greater the pelvic stability was, and the greater was the stability of the screws placed on the injured side of the pubic region than the screws on the healthy side.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0273351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]],"date-time":"2022-08-25T17:50:31Z","timestamp":1661449831000},"page":"e0273351","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Biomechanical
