The GALAXY FIXATIONTM System and Orthofix implantable devices study intends to evaluate the clinical performance and safety profile of the study medical/investigational devices in the standard clinical practice. The study will be conducted in three sites located in Italy considered reference sites for the treatment of adults and paediatric patients with fractures of the long bones, vertically stable pelvic fractures, or vertically unstable pelvic fractures as a treatment adjunct, where the usage of GALAXY FIXATION™ System and Orthofix implantable devices were part of the normal clinical practice. The participant investigators will retrospectively include a maximum of 118 patients in which GALAXY FIXATIONTM System and Orthofix implantable devices were used. No diagnostic or therapeutic intervention outside routine clinical practice will be applied.
