| description | We report on the treatment of a neglected displaced vertical shear pelvic fracture with functional impairment 6 months after injury in a 74-year-old woman with underlying osteoporosis. She was managed with open reduction and internal fixation and grafting of her left SI joint, while the ipsilateral pubic rami fractures were treated conservatively. She achieved union and pain free weight bearing 6 months postoperatively. Appropriate evaluation of the pathology and selection of the appropriate treatment in this elderly patient cohort is essential for a successful outcome. Experienced surgical team and individualized treatment approach are also vital to optimize the result of treatment. |
