| Abstract [eng] |
Pelvic ring fractures give rise to substantial morbidity and mortality due to the induction of severe hemorrhage and internal organ damage. Consequently, these fractures pose a significant risk of both morbidity and mortality. The majority of orthopedic surgeons encounter significant difficulty in the management of these fractures. Epidemiological data regarding these injuries were infrequently encountered in the literature. Between 2000 and 2009, a total of 24059 cases of unstable pelvic ring fractures (PRF) were reported in the United States, with an associated in-hospital mortality rate of 8.3%. Particularly in cases of unstable fractures, the most effective stabilization technique is a subject of ongoing debate. A substantial amount of exposure is necessary for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), which carries a high risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications such as deep vein thrombosis, abnormal bone development, nerve and blood artery damage, and significant hemorrhage. Since its inception, numerous authors have employed closed reduction with percutaneous screw fixation, a minimally invasive technique, to manage patients afflicted with pelvic ring fractures (PRF) and acetabular fractures (AF). Im this study we have demnostrated a case study for A male, aged 50, presented with fractured bones following a fall from a ladder approximately 2.5 meters in height. Upon examination, he was found to have fractures in the right lateral mass of the sacrum, both rami of the pubic bone, and the right transverse process of the L5 vertebra. Percutaneous stabilization is a less invasive treatment for pelvic ring injuries, as it doesn't damage surrounding soft tissues, reducing infection and blood loss risks. It also allows for shorter operating times and faster healing.
