Traditional methods have a variety of intrinsic defaults and cannot successfully manage the requirements of young patients. Benefiting from our anatomic research, we explored a new method of external fixation for this specific trauma and evaluated its feasibility and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Twenty-three young multiple-trauma patients with PFF were included in this study. Surgical treatment was applied using an external fixator via the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS).

The mean blood loss was 25.3 \u00b1 10.8\u2009mL. No iatrogenic nerve palsy, pin tract infection, failure of external fixation, or bedsores were observed. The postoperative visual analog scale score was significantly lower than the preoperative score (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01). The mean fracture reduction rate of the femur was 58.1 \u00b1 17.0%, and the mean degree of reduction was 13.5 \u00b1 6.9\u00b0. The mean external fixation time was 7.6 \u00b1 4.0 days and intramedullary nailing was performed. The mean hospital, follow-up, and healing times were 28.7 \u00b1 8.7 days, 23.5 \u00b1 7.9 months, and 22.8 \u00b1 5.7 weeks, respectively.
