BackgroundAnterior pelvic ring contributes up to 40% of the stability of the pelvic ring and is located in close proximity to key pelvic organs, blood vessels, and nerves. An anterior pelvic ring fracture causes severe pain and is a potentially life-threatening condition in trauma patients. Currently available surgical repair methods are highly technical and include high risks of complications. The minimally invasive ilioinguinal approach (MIIA) is an emerging technique that reduces the risk of femoral nerve and external iliac vessel injury. However, the safety and efficacy of this technique have yet to be systematically scrutinized. This study outlines a proposed protocol for a network meta-analysis that investigates the efficacy of MIIA for anterior pelvic ring fracture.MethodsThis study will utilize both Chinese and English language databases. All randomized controlled trials studying the use of MIIA for anterior pelvic ring fracture from January 2016 to May 2021 will be incorporated. Researchers will screen for literature that fits the inclusion criteria, followed by an assessment of risk bias and, finally, data extraction.ResultsThe Bayesian network meta-analysis will be used to evaluate all available Stata 14.0 and WinBUGS software.ConclusionOur research aims to uncover the clinical utility of the MIIA approach for anterior pelvic ring fractures.Ethics And DisseminationNot required.Inplasy Registration NumberINPLASY2021110020.Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
