We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery following placement of an iliosacral screw in a patient with an unstable pelvic ring fracture. Percutaneous fixation of posterior pelvic ring injuries is becoming a popular method for pelvic stabilization. Several techniques are available t achieve stability and allow early mobilization in patients with displaced pelvic fractu...

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...

PURPOSE This study was performed to assess and compare the effects of Pilates exercise on flexibility and lumbo-pelvic movement control between the Pilates training and control groups. METHODS A randomized single-blinded controlled design was utilized in the study. Forty healthy male and female volunteers (mean age 31.65±6.21 years) were randomly divided into Pilates-based training (20 subjec...

background: female sexual dysfunction is a common problem among general population, especially in urogynecological patient, and can lead to a decrease in quality of life and affect martial relationship. objective: this study was compared the effect of surgical methods versus physiotherapy on sexual function in pelvic floor disorder. materials and methods: this randomized controlled trial (rct) ...

BACKGROUND A type III hemipelvectomy has been utilized for the resection of tumors arising from the superior or inferior pubic rami. METHODS In eight patients, we incorporated a type III internal hemipelvectomy to achieve an en bloc R0 resection for tumors extending through the obturator foramen or into the ischiorectal fossa. The pelvic ring was reconstructed utilizing marlex mesh. This allo...

BACKGROUND The number of patients undergoing hip arthroplasty revision is constantly growing. Especially, complex problem is extensive loss of bone stock and pelvic discontinuity that requires reconstruction. CASE REPORT The paper presented a 50-year old patient, who ten years ago underwent a total cement artrhroplasty of the left hip. A year after the primary operation the patient had diffic...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activation related to postural stability depending on the pelvic position and frequency of whole body vibration (WBV) during quiet standing, and to identify the most effective training conditions that elicit the highest neuromuscular responses. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen healthy subjects voluntarily participated in this single-g...

[Purpose] Proper pelvic floor function is important to avoid serious dysfunctions including incontinence, prolapse, and sexual problems. The current study evaluated the knowledge of young nulliparous women about their pelvic floor and identified what additional information they wanted. [Subjects and Methods] In this cross-sectional survey, a validated, 36 item questionnaire was distributed to 2...

INTRODUCTION There is a lack of data in the literature for determining the influences of the extensor portion of the gluteus maximus muscle on pelvic tilting and, thus, on lumbar stability. OBJECTIVES To assess the influences of the extensor portion of the gluteus maximus muscle on pelvic tilt. METHODS Ten healthy young subjects were recruited, with a body mass index (BMI) below 24.9 kg/m(2...

OBJECTIVES To retrospectively evaluate the outcome of internal fixation of trauma- related pelvic floor fractures using a ventral abdominal approach in cats. METHODS Clinical examination and radiographic findings at presentation, after surgery, and at follow-up were assessed. Information gathered included concurrent injuries, surgical technique used, lameness and pain scores, and radiographic...
