Symphyseal plating proved to be the osteosynthesis method with the highest rigidity. The modified SpeedBridge™ as a semi-rigid suture construct provided statistically sufficient biomechanical stability while maintaining a minimum of symphyseal movement, consequently allowing ligamental healing of the injured joint without iatrogenic arthrodesis. Furthermore, both the criss-cross and the triangle technique displayed significant biomechanical stability without one method being superior.
