Case:A 20-year-old man with a Tile C1.2 pelvic fracture was treated with skeletal traction. After 3 months, the patient was unable to stand and walk, and the right lower limb was shortened by 7 cm. Radiographs showed that the sacroiliac joint dislocation was not reduced. Gradual traction reduction with the Ilizarov method was used to correct sacroiliac joint dislocation, and open internal fixation was performed. Postoperatively, the old pelvic fracture was successfully reduced without sacral plexus injury.Conclusion:Gradual traction reduction with the Ilizarov method can reduce the risk of sacral plexus injury and achieve satisfactory reduction of Tile C1.2 old pelvic fractures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
