They have increased dramatically in the orthogeriatric population. Surgeons are faced with implant fixation issues in the treatment of these fragility fractures. This study compares two innovative implants for stabilizing the iliosacral joint in a biomechanical setting. (2) Methods: An iliosacral screw with a preassembled plate allowing the placement of an additional short, angular stable screw in the ilium and a triangular fixation system consisting of a fenestrated ilium screw and an iliosacral screw quasi-statically inserted through the \u201cfenestra\u201d were instrumented in osteoporotic artificial bone models with a simulated Denis zone 1 fracture. Biomechanical testing was performed on a servo-hydraulic testing machine using increasing, synchronous axial and torsional sinusoidal cyclic loading to failure. (3) Results: The SI-Plate and TriFix showed comparable stiffness values. The values for fracture gap angle and screw tip cutout were significantly lower for the TriFix compared to the SI-Plate. In addition, the number of cycles to failure was significantly higher for the TriFix. (4) Conclusions: Implant anchorage and primary stability can be improved in iliosacral instability using the triangular stabilization system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13010194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]],"date-time":"2023-12-29T03:28:41Z","timestamp":1703820521000},"page":"194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Stabilization of Traumatic Iliosacral Instability Using Innovative Implants: A Biomechanical Comparison"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Niklas","family":"Gr\u00fcneweller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bielefeld University, Medical School and University Medical Center OWL, Protestant Hospital of the Bethel Foundation, Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, Burgsteig 13, 33617 Bielefeld, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Leunig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AO Research Institute Davos, Clavadelerstrasse 8, 7270 Davos, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0484-887X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan","family":"Zderic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AO Research Institute Davos, Clavadelerstrasse 8, 7270 Davos, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9795-115X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boyko","family":"Gueorguiev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AO Research Institute Davos, Clavadelerstrasse 8, 7270 Davos, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2352-7951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dirk","family":"W\u00e4hnert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bielefeld University, Medical School and University Medical Center OWL, Protestant Hospital of the Bethel Foundation, Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, Burgsteig 13, 33617 Bielefeld, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Vordemvenne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bielefeld University, Medical School and University Medical Center OWL, Protestant Hospital of the Bethel Foundation, Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, Burgsteig 13, 33617 Bielefeld, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"221","article-title":"Sex Differences in Pelvic Fractures-a Retrospective Analysis of 16 359 Cases From the German Trauma Registry","volume":"120","author":"Audretsch","year":"2023","journal-title":"Dtsch. \u00c4rzteblatt Int."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2021.09.016","article-title":"The FFP-classification: From eminence to evidence","volume":"54","author":"Rommens","year":"2023","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"83","DOI":"10.1016\/j.archger.2017.03.007","article-title":"Pelvic ring fractures in the elderly now and then\u2014A pelvic registry study","volume":"71","author":"Rollmann","year":"2017","journal-title":"Arch.
