Background: The cesarean section rate following a pelvic fracture is more than double the standard norms. This results from residual deformity and a lack of knowledge among obstetricians regarding the ability to deliver vaginally after a pelvic fracture. Aim: To present a case of pelvic fracture that delivered vaginally indicating vaginal delivery is possible even after pelvic fractures that ar...

The orthopedic hind limb affections in dogs constituted 31.99 % of the admitted cases to the Surgery clinic, Faculty of Vet. Med. Cairo univ., while the corresponding percentage in cats was 11.70 % during the period from October 2010 to April 2013. Pelvic limb fractures accounted for 50.60 % of the orthopedic dog patients, whereas, pelvic limb fracture in cats represented 69.39%. Femoral fractu...

abstract background: unstable pelvic fracture, a result of high energy antero-posterior compression injury, has been managed based on internal fixation and open reduction. the mode of fixation in unstable pelvic fracture has, however, been a subject of controversy and some authors have proposed a need to address the issue of partial breach of the pelvic ring elements in these injuries. this stu...

The past 50 years have been a time of rapid progress in the control of mortality and morbidity of pelvic fracture. Early understanding of the anatomic features of the fracture and the potential for major, life-threatening arterial hemorrhage in a small proportion of patients led to multidisciplinary approaches designed to control hemorrhage and temporarily stabilize the fracture. Progress in th...

HYPOTHESIS Measurement of pelvic hemorrhage on computed tomographic (CT) scans can estimate the pelvic fracture component of total patient blood loss and predict the need for angiography. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Large level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS We examined data from 759 consecutive, nonreferral blunt trauma patients who sustained pelvic fracture. MAIN OUTCOME MEA...

overlapped pubic symphysis is a rare but serious pelvic injury. this study presents a case of overlapped dislocation of the pubic symphysis. he was managed by closed reduction under general anesthesia. the patient had urethral transsection.at the latest follow up, seven months post injury; he was able to walk well without any pelvic pain. however, his urologic problems were continued. we also r...

Introduction: Complex pelvic fracture, which has a very high mortality and even higher morbidity, needs internal fixation surgery as an integral part for its management. It was necessary to conduct a study regarding outcome of complex pelvic fractures after internal fixation surgery. Material & Method: Twenty-six patients with complex pelvic fractures that had been treated with internal fixatio...

PURPOSE The most common life-threatening complication of pelvic trauma is bleeding. Arterial bleedings frequently require active management, preferably with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Hemodynamic instability and/or contrast extravasation at computer tomography (CT) examination are reliable indicators of arterial injury. Unstable pelvic fractures are much more hemorrhagic than st...

BACKGROUND Pelvic circumferential compression devices are designed to stabilize the pelvic ring and reduce the volume of the pelvis following trauma. It is uncertain whether pelvic circumferential compression devices can be safely applied for all types of pelvic fractures because the effects of the devices on the reduction of fracture fragments are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare ...
