Figures and Tables

Fig. 1

A 42-year-old man sustained a type B pelvic bone fracture with symphysis pubis dislocation.

(A) The symphysis pubis was displaced 2 cm initially.

(B) It was increased to 2.8 cm two days after injury.

(C) A 4.5 mm 4 hole limited contact-dynamic compression plate was fixed after reduction of symphysis pubis.

Fig. 2

(A) A 53-year-old man sustained a type B pelvic bone fracture with open wound in the inguinal area.

(B) Supra-acetabular external fixation was applied with reduction of the symphysis pubis.

Fig. 3

(A) Pelvis anteroposterior radiograph and (B) axial computed tomography scan demonstrating both small superior crescent fractures.

(C) Both crescent fractures were fixed with iliosacral screws with anterior plating.

Fig. 4

(A) Axial and (B) sagittal reconstruction computed tomography scan, demonstrating spinal pelvic dissociation from a sacral fracture at S1/S2.

(C) A bilateral sacroiliac screw was fixed after closed reduction and anterior plating.
