fractures through the sacroiliac joint are very challenging to treat, technically difficult to reduce through closed methods on account of the multiaxial displacement of fractures fragments, frequently occur in very unwell patients, and have poor outcomes if malreduction is present. we describe a technique utilising the lateral window and a short buttress plate to reduce and stabilize the fragm...

introduction: significant perineal injuries and major pelvic fractures resulting from blunt trauma manifest a high-energy injury. open pelvic fractures (with perineal injury) are associated with higher mortality rates of 40 to 60 %. methods: this study was a review of patients with multiple traumas comprising of major pelvic fracture and severe perineal injuries (shahid kamyab hospital in mashh...

we reviewed 55 cases with trauma to the urinary bladder. blunt trauma was the cause of injury in 78 percent of cases and associated pelvic fracture was present in 75 percent. eighty percent of extraperitoneal ruptures were associated with fracture of the pelvis. the most common cause of trauma was car accident (63%), followed by war injury (20%). nearly two-thirds of patients (63 %) had extrape...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the effect of early pelvic binder use in the emergency management of suspected pelvic trauma, compared with the conventional stepwise approach. METHODS We enrolled trauma patients with initial stabilization using a pelvic binder when suspecting pelvic injury. The inclusion criteria were traumatic injury requiring a trauma team and at least one of the following:...

Patients with traumatic pelvic ring injury may represent an immense challenge for the emergency physician. First, patients with pelvic ring fractures are at risk for exsanguinating pelvic hemorrhage. Furthermore, the profound magnitude of force required to disrupt the pelvic ring frequently causes severe injuries to other organ systems. The resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, rapid identifica...

Complex pelvic injuries are among the most dangerous and deadly trauma related lesions. Different classification systems exist, some are based on the mechanism of injury, some on anatomic patterns and some are focusing on the resulting instability requiring operative fixation. The optimal treatment strategy, however, should keep into consideration the hemodynamic status, the anatomic impairment...

Background: We aimed to evaluate the effect of early pelvic binder use in emergency 16 management of suspected pelvic trauma, compared with the conventional stepwise approach. 17 Methods: We enrolled trauma patients with initial stabilization using a pelvic binder for suspecting 18 pelvic injury. Inclusion criteria were traumatic injury requiring a trauma team and at least one of 19 the followi...

Purpose. To analyse the technical success of pelvic embolization in our institution and to assess periprocedural hemodynamic status and morbidity/mortality of all pelvic trauma patients who underwent pelvic embolization. Methods. A retrospective analysis of patients with a pelvic fracture due to trauma who underwent arterial embolization was performed. Clinical data, pelvic radiographs, contras...
