Characteristics of the gull wing plate. a The GWP design takes into account the bilateral ilia, S1 spinal process, and paravertebral muscle. The angle between the posterior surface and the bilateral wings is 70°. Two longer cancellous screws (φ6.5 mm; gold) toward the AIIS and four tri-cortical locking screws (φ5.0 mm; silver) penetrating the iliosacral joint can be inserted. Scale bar: 30 mm. b 3D reconstruction of the postoperative CT scan from the posterior side. Bilateral cancellous bone screws are inserted as far as possible (yellow arrows). GWP, gull wing plate; AIIS, anterior inferior iliac spine; CT, computed tomography
