The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability of triple innominate osteotomies fixed with either bioabsorbable or stainless steel screws. Triple innominate osteotomies were performed on composite hemipelves and fixed with either three 4.5-mm bioabsorbable screws or three stainless steel 4.5-mm screws. Two screws were placed from the iliac wing into the acetabular fragment, and 1 screw was placed from below the acetabular fragment into the iliac wing. Eight specimens for each screw type were biomechanically tested in an anatomical position (replicating weight bearing) and in a flexed and abducted position (replicating spica cast positioning). Specimens were cyclically loaded between 10 and 450 N to simulate the hip contact force in this population. Lower screws were then removed, and specimens were tested under identical conditions. Fragment displacement (mm) and construct stiffness (N/mm) were compared with a 2-way analysis of variance (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between materials for fragment displacement or construct stiffness. Anatomical position showed significantly less displacement than spica position for both materials. Initial displacement in the spica position was significantly less during lower loads for stainless steel fixation. Bioabsorbable screws demonstrate comparable biomechanical stability to stainless steel screws in anatomical and spica positions at physiological loads. Flexion and abduction of the femur adversely affect the stability of the construct for both materials. Bioabsorbable screws behave similarly to steel screws when stabilizing triple innominate osteotomies and would have the advantage of not requiring a second surgery for screw removal. Confirmation of biocompatibility should be completed before widespread clinical application.
