Non-anatomic fixation for longstanding traumatic pubic diastasis using a bone graft: A report of two cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incidence of internal fixation failure of symphysis diastasis varies from 6% to 75%. Hardware breakage or migration and symphysis disruption recurrence are often asymptomatic and only in a few cases reoperation is required. This report describes the managements of two cases after failed internal fixation and neglected traumatic symphysis diastasis when it was technically impossible to achieve anatomical reduction of the anterior pelvic ring. Internal fixation and a bone graft for the symphysis without anatomical reposition were performed. Both of the patients achieved good results and had no complaints of pain during daily activities. Restoration of the anatomy should not be the aim in treating recurrence of the symphysis diastasis after failed fixation. The aim of the surgery was static fixation of the anterior pelvic ring with bone grafting.

The aim of this study was to review the number of patients operated on for traumatic disruption of the pubic symphysis who developed radiological signs of movement of the anterior pelvic metalwork during the first post-operative year, and to determine whether this had clinical implications. A consecutive series of 49 patients undergoing internal fixation of a traumatic diastasis of the pubic sy...

We report a case of pubic symphysis diastasis, which was initially asymptomatic; however, it became symptomatic with urinary incontinence during pregnancy. The patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the symphysis pubis. A corticocancellous autograft was used for filling the gap which remained despite bilateral compression of the iliac bones. We obtained satisfactory ou...
متن کاملBladder incarceration following anterior external fixation of a traumatic pubic symphysis diastasis treated with immediate open reduction and internal fixation
Anterior pelvic ring disruptions are often associated with injuries to the genitourinary structures with the potential for considerable resultant morbidity. Herniation of the bladder into the symphyseal region after injury with subsequent entrapment upon reduction of the symphyseal diastasis has seldom been reported in the literature. We report such a case involving bladder herniation and subse...

Demineralized bone matrix has been successfully commercialized as an alternative bone graft material that not only can function as filler but also as an osteoinductive graft. Numerous studies have confirmed its beneficial use in clinical practice. Heterotopic ossification after internal fixation combined with the use of demineralized bone matrix has not been widely reported. In this paper we de...

Internal Fixation of pubic diastasis is a safe procedure relatively free of serious complications and is a standard treatment choice for tile's type B-1 injuries. We present one interesting case of late implant failure in an adequately fixed pubic diastasis leading to bladder herniation.
