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...

A young adult male was admitted after suffering polytrauma due to road traffic accident. Emergency radiography showed pelvic fracture. Computed tomography (CT) scan was performed which revealed presence of comminuted displaced fracture of left superior pubic ramus. Fracture line was extending till pubic symphysis but no symphyseal diastasis was noted. In addition, a part of urinary bladder was ...

Pelvic dislocations are rare during labor, and the treatment is controversial. We report two cases of young women who sustained postpartum disruption of the pelvic ring: one case is an 8.8 cm wide separation of the pubic symphysis with sacroiliac joint disruption underwent surgical stabilization and the second case with 4.0 cm disruption being treated non-operatively. These cases illustrated of...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the practical application of intrapartum sonographic assessment of the progress of labor. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty three full-term pregnant women who delivered at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department were enrolled into this study. Transperineal ultrasonographic examinations were conducted with a convex transducer at the onset of active labor, yielding mid-sagittal...
