The aim for surgical treatment of unstable Tile B2 \& C1 pelvic ring injuries is an anatomical reduction to allow early weight-bearing, pain relief and to prevent future pelvic asymmetry. So, we usually used combined posterior \& anterior ring fixation, relying on the fact that anterior pelvic ring adequate reduction and fixation better augment posterior ring fixation and enhance overall pelvic stability. However, anterior ring fixation requires a second incision with a longer operation time and more blood loss. The main disadvantage of the second incision is the higher risk of wound infection, either superficial or deep, which questions its necessity and raises concerns about the possibility of isolated posterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 \& C1 pelvic ring injuries with good outcomes. The fundamental algorithm was the questionable need for additional anterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 and C1 pelvic ring injuries combined with posterior ring fixation, whether the incidence of postoperative complications, radiological and clinical outcomes differed between these two groups. After reviewing the literature, we found a lack of knowledge in the prospective assessment of such outcomes between the two fixation groups. So, This RCT aims to reach a satisfactory result and prove or deny the questionable need for anterior ring fixation in managing Tile B2 and C1 pelvic ring injuries. Our hypothesis was that PR fixation is at least as good as APR fixation.
