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...

because of the prevalent occurrence of pelvic fracture and its death consequences the present research was conducted to determine epidemiological of pelvic fracture of patients who referred to taleqani hospital of kermanshah during 2002-2008. in a retrospective study, 54 patients were studied employing to patient medical file. 17 patients were women, 37of cases were men. range of age was betwee...

INTRODUCTION The main cause of mortality in trauma patients with pelvic fractures is hypovolemic shock. We analyzed the association between the source of bleeding, mechanism of action and type of fracture. METHODS Prospective descriptive study involving trauma patients older than 16 years old, admitted to the intensive care unit or dead before admission, with pelvic fractures and hemodynamic ...

This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical mechanism of pelvic ring injury for the stability of pelvis using the finite element (FE) method. Complex pelvic fracture (i.e., anterior column with posterior hemitransverse lesion) combined with pelvic ramus fracture was used to evaluate the biomechanics stability of the pelvis. Three FE fracture models (i.e., Dynamic Anterior Plate-Screw System f...

In the management of a pelvic fracture prompt recognition of an unstable fracture pattern is important in reducing mortality and morbidity. It is believed that a fracture of the transverse process of L5 is a predictor of pelvic fracture instability. However, there is little evidence in the literature to support this view. The aim of this study was to determine whether a fracture of the transver...

Fifty-one male patients with prior pelvic fracture completed a Brief Sexual Function Inventory questionnaire (BSFI) 2 years postinjury. Responses were compared to those of 53 men with ankle fractures. Patients with pelvic fracture scored significantly worse than patients with ankle fracture. Patients with pelvic fracture scored poorly on sex drive, erection, ejaculation, and satisfaction with s...

AIMS A frequently-seen injury pattern in current military experience is traumatic lower limb amputation as a result of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This injury can coexist with fractures involving the pelvic ring. This study aims to assess the frequency of concomitant pelvic fracture in IED-related lower limb amputation. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the trauma charts, medical n...

Fracture detection in pelvic bones is vital for patient diagnostic decisions and treatment planning in traumatic pelvic injuries. Manual detection of bone fracture from computed tomography (CT) images is very challenging due to low resolution of the images and the complex pelvic structures. Automated fracture detection from segmented bones can significantly help physicians analyze pelvic CT ima...
