Gradual Traction Reduction With the Ilizarov Method for Tile C1.2 Old Pelvic Fracture

Abstract

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.
