Development and preclinical evaluation of a cable-clamp fixation device for a disrupted pubic symphysis

Jordan et al. test two titanium cable-clamp implants to reduce pubic symphyseal gapping. Using synthetic bone models and cadaver specimens they show that their implants provide stabilities equivalent to that of a traditional symphyseal plate fixation.
