INTRODUCTION Pubic osteomyelitis is a rare type of suppurative osteomyelitis. Early diagnosis of pubic osteomyelitis is difficult, and prolonged inflammation results in progressive bone degradation, severe pelvic pain and a wide-based gait. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report the case of an 82-year-old woman who was admitted to a previous hospital with severe abdominal pain caused by a perforated ...

Subpubic cartilaginous cyst was recently reported as a rare degenerative mass on the pubic symphysis. We report here a 59-year-old woman who presented with a vulvar mass that showed complete spontaneous regression 48months after the initial visit. Treatment was only wearing brace. This is the first report of complete spontaneous regression of a subpubic cartilaginous cyst. In the case of small ...

Looking for bladder exstrophy as a diagnosis, we found 356 cases in our database, which makes us one of the biggest centers of exstrophy-epispadias complex treatment in the world. Some patients are treated at our institution from the beginning while others are coming for further treatment after primary bladder exstrophy closure or because of complications and poor results of surgery performed a...

The post partum pubic symphysis diastasis is an uncommon disease. It is resposible of acute pelvic pain. It increases when manual pressure is applied to the pelvis in a latero-lateral and antero-posterior direction. The diagnostic test for this condition is an anteroposterior X-ray of the pelvis. Here we present a case following spontaneous vaginal delivery. The conservative treatment is able t...

BACKGROUND Floating pubic symphysis (FPS) is a relatively rare injury caused by high-energy mechanisms. There are several fixation methods used to treat FPS, including external fixation, subcutaneous fixation, internal fixation, and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation. To choose the appropriate fixation, it is necessary to study the biomechanical performance of these different methods. The g...
