A mechanistic link has been suggested between cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and increased stress on the symphysis pubis. This retrospective study was conducted to determine whether there is an increased prevalence of osteitis pubis, as evidenced by imaging, in patients with femoroacetabular impingement compared with age-matched control subjects. Search of a radiologic database of a larg...

THE ELONGATION OF THE CERVIX DURING LABOUR. In a communication to this Society, entitled (< A Study of Two Mesial Vertical Sections of the Female Pelvis,"1 it was pointed out by Dr A. R. Simpson and myself that, during labour, the pubic triangle?i.e., all in front, and inclusive of the anterior vaginal wall?is drawn up. The proof known then for this was given fully in that paper, and need not b...

The treatment of pediatric maxillofacial fractures is unique due to the psychological, physiological, developmental, and anatomical characteristics of children. Method. This case report describes the management of symphysis fracture of mandible in a 5-year-old boy. The fracture was treated by acrylic splint with circummandibular wiring. Results. The splint was removed after 3 weeks. The patient...

BACKGROUND Osteitis pubis is an aseptic painful inflammatory condition of the symphysis pubis, surrounding muscles, and tendons. It was first described in 1924 in patients who had suprapubic surgery. Inflammation and trauma have been attributed to be causative factors in previous individual case reports and small case series. Osteitis pubis is frequently misdiagnosed and is difficult to treat o...

Anterior pelvic ring disruptions are often associated with injuries to the genitourinary structures with the potential for considerable resultant morbidity. Herniation of the bladder into the symphyseal region after injury with subsequent entrapment upon reduction of the symphyseal diastasis has seldom been reported in the literature. We report such a case involving bladder herniation and subse...

The pelvis is composed of 3 paired bones (ischiac, pubic and iliac bones) and the sacrum. Any part of the pelvis can be congeni tally absent, but the sacrum is the most commonly affected. The absence can be partial or complete; unilateral or bilateral and can occur in an isolated fashion or be part of a malformation syndrome. A 99m Tc Methylene Diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan was performed in a 2...

Open-book fractures are defined as the separation of pubic symphysis or rami and disruption anterior sacroiliac, sacrotuberous, sacrospinal ligaments. They can be stabilized by fixation arch. However, indications advantages additional placement iliosacral screws remain unknown. A CT-based model healthy pelvis was created ligaments were modeled tension springs. Range motion sacroiliac joint symp...
