According to Tile classification, 33 cases were type B (15 cases were Tile B1, 11 cases were Tile B2, 7 cases were Tile B3); 23 cases were type C (10 cases were Tile C1, 8 cases were Tile C2, 5 cases were Tile C3). Results The 56 cases were followed up 12 to 68 months(26 months in average).All cases with fractures got healed during 3 to 6 mouths. According to the Majeed evaluation, 40 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good, 4 cases were fair, and only one case was a failure. The rate of excellency and goodness was 91.07%.The pelvic abnormity was rectified; partial patients felt light pain in iliac scar.
