UT Southwestern orthopedic surgeons Adam Starr, MD, and Charles Reinert, MD, developed the Starr Frame, its associated accessories and the Reinert fracture reduction, or realignment, instruments. The device and instruments attach to the operating table and then to the intact portion of the pelvis using steel pins. The Starr Frame serves as an anchoring point for surgeons to control and re-align multiple fractures in various planes.
The minimally invasive surgery option offers an advanced alternative to traditional pelvic repair through a large incision, quicker recovery for patients and time-savings for OR surgeons and staff.
