With rapid advancement in surgical techniques and improvement in implant materials, rate of internal fixation for pubic symphyseal disruption in rotationally and vertically unstable pelvic ring injuries has increased. Among various modes of implant failure, screw/plate breakage and loosening are common complications following unstable fixation. Migration of loose screws into the urinary bladder has been reported as an extremely uncommon complication of pubic symphyseal plating. Here we present a case report of a 52-year-old female who presented with asymptomatic passage of screws in her urine following migration into the bladder, 2 years after symphyseal plating for pubic diastasis in an anteroposterior compression pelvic ring injury.

Chronic pelvic insufficiency fractures and their treatment.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Fragility and insufficiency fractures of the pelvis and sacrum are on the rise among the elderly due to weakened bones, leading to persistent pain, reduced mobility, and a risk of loss of independence.
- While conservative treatments are an option, surgery is often preferred for unstable fractures, especially since many patients do not receive adequate preventative care for osteoporosis-related fractures.
- Diagnostic imaging is crucial for identifying these fractures, with CT scans being the gold standard, but MRI offers the highest sensitivity for detecting complex fractures, guiding treatment based on fracture type and stability.
Clinical efficacy of three plating systems in management of mandibular parasymphyseal fractures: a retrospective study.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, October 6th University, 6th of October City, Giza Governorate, Egypt.
Background: The main goal of management of the mandibular fracture is to obtain the pre-injury contour of the bone and pre-injury occlusion as well as regain function early. For Parasymphyseal fractures, the ideal fixation method is still debatable. It could range from rigid to semi-rigid fixation.

Department of Orthopedics, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.
Article Synopsis
- - Postpartum pubic symphysis diastasis is a rare condition often linked to complications during childbirth, such as difficult labor or larger babies.
- - While most cases are managed conservatively, surgery may be necessary for severe diastasis (over 4 cm) to prevent long-term issues like chronic pain and functional disabilities.
- - A study involving four women (ages 20-30) with over 7 cm of diastasis demonstrated successful outcomes with surgical intervention, allowing for early ambulation and full recovery within three months.
The Pfannenstiel-approach - from 1900 until 2024.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Medical University Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The Pfannenstiel approach is commonly used for treating pelvic ring injuries, particularly in symphyseal plating procedures.
- Originally designed for gynecological caesarean sections, the method has evolved with different dissection techniques now preferred by surgeons.
- The term "Pfannenstiel approach" is suggested to be updated to "modified Pfannenstiel approach" to reflect these changes in practice.
Finite Element Analysis of New Modified Three-dimensional Strut Miniplate versus Conventional Plating in Mandibular Symphysis and Angle Fractures - An Study.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dental Science, Nadiad, Gujarat, India.
Introduction: Mandibular fractures are common injuries during maxillofacial trauma, and currently, open reduction and internal fixation are considered gold-standard treatments. There is a wide discussion about which plates give the best outcomes. Hence, we are conducting a biomechanical comparison of two plates for mandibular symphysis and angle fracture with finite element analysis (FEA).
