Core Tip	This technical report introduces a novel handheld pelvic alignment guide (HPAG) combined with 6.0 mm hollow screws, specifically designed for accurate and minimally invasive retrograde pubic ramus screw insertion in osteoporotic pelvic fragility fractures. The technique reduces operative time, incision size, and intraoperative fluoroscopy, minimizing surgical trauma. HPAG simplifies a technically demanding procedure, enables wider adoption, and demonstrates excellent clinical outcomes, highlighting its potential as a standard surgical approach in osteoporotic anterior pelvic ring injuries.
