Pelvic binders in APC I and APC II in cadaver experiment

Description

This dataset contains steady-state symphyseal compression pressure measurements (in Newtons) obtained from biomechanical experiments using 11 fresh human cadavers. Surgically created Anteroposterior Compression (APC) Type I and Type II pelvic fractures (Young-Burgess classification / AO/OTA 61B1.2 and 61B2.3) were evaluated across seven stabilization interventions: four improvised bedsheet application techniques and three commercial pelvic circumferential compression devices (T-POD, VBM, and SAM Sling). For each fracture model, baseline and final compression forces were recorded across three repeated trials per intervention in a randomized application sequence

Steps to reproduce

As in manuscript Symphyseal compression pressure was measured using an LMB-A small-sized compression load cell (10–2000 N capacity) placed within a custom housing at the pubic symphysis of 11 fresh human cadavers. Surgically controlled diastases were created to simulate Anteroposterior Compression (APC) Type I (AO/OTA 61B1.2) and Type II (AO/OTA 61B2.3) fractures. Four distinct bedsheet application techniques and three commercially available Pelvic Circumferential Compression Devices (PCCDs) were applied in a randomized sequence with lower limbs internally rotated and secured: Method 1: Single Fold with Two Clamps (adapted from Routt et al.) Method 2: Single Fold with Four Clamps (Harborview Medical Center protocol) Method 3: Simple Tie Knot Method 4: Tie Knot with Pole (modified windlass technique, Rega et al.) Commercial PCCDs: T-POD, VBM, and SAM Pelvic Sling Baseline and steady-state pressure values were recorded across three repeated trials per intervention for both fracture models.
