The established benefits of intramedullary nail treatment of fractures have been translated to the treatment of pelvic ring injuries and thus an implant system has been developed that satisfies the generally recognised AO principles for internal fixation of fractures:

1. Fracture reduction
Fracture reduction and compression are performed using a guide frame.

2. Fracture stabilization
Three-dimensional stabilization of the posterior pelvic ring results from fixed‑angle locking of the nail using locking screws.

3. Implantation without soft-tissue trauma
All implant components are placed using mini-incisions.

4. Early functional physiotherapy
SACRONAIL^® enables pain-adapted mobilization of the patient
immediately following surgery.

The minimally invasive surgical procedure and the intraosseous implant position with preservation of the fracture haematoma reduce soft tissue irritation and maintain the blood supply of the bony structures.

The biiliac symmetrical anchorage means that SACRONAIL^® provides sustainable, stable treatment of posterior pelvic ring lesions and sacral insufficiency fractures.

The interaction between the minimally invasive surgical technique, intraosseous implant position and fixed angle make SACRONAIL^® a concept that is unique to date.
