AI Article Synopsis
- High-energy pelvic fractures can be life-threatening due to the risk of severe internal bleeding.
- The historical understanding of these injuries dates back to 1851, with major advancements in the 20th century leading to better treatment strategies.
- This review aims to summarize the evolution of knowledge and management approaches for severe pelvic ring injuries, excluding acetabular fractures.
Article Abstract
High-energy pelvic fractures represent potentially life-threatening injuries due to the risk of acute exsanguinating retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The first report of a severe pelvic ring disruption dates back to Charles Hewitt Moore's seminal publication from 1851. Significant advantages in the understanding of injury mechanisms and treatment concepts of pelvic ring injuries evolved in the 20(th) century, and provided the basis to current classification-guided treatment and life-saving "damage control" concepts. However, there is a paucity of reports in the current literature focused on the historic background on the treatment of pelvic ring injuries. The present review was designed to summarize the history and evolution of our current understanding of the mechanisms and management strategies for severe pelvic ring injuries (excluding acetabular fractures which represent a different entity outside of the scope of this article).

Abdominal wall repair in adults with bladder exstrophy is challenging. We present a case of a 46-year-old woman with bladder exstrophy presenting with a large midline incisional hernia associated with a 13-cm hypoplasia of both pubic rami that precluded fixation of any abdominal mesh. A two-stage approach was adopted.

Case: A 35-year-old man with morbid obesity sustained an ultra-low velocity (ULV) rotational knee dislocation secondary to a fall from standing. The patient was successfully treated using a subcutaneous knee-spanning internal fixator, the "INFIX" technique, which has previously been described for pelvic ring injuries.
Conclusion: This novel technique maintained the stable reduction of an ULV knee dislocation in a patient with morbid obesity until adequate healing was achieved.

Background: It is known that fractures of the pelvic ring and acetabulum in work-related accidents are associated with long periods of incapacity to work, a high rate of reduction in earning capacity (MdE) and high costs for pension/severance pay.
Objective: Investigation of changes in pension claims and costs from 2013 to 2019 after isolated fractures of the pelvic ring and acetabulum in work-related accidents in Germany.
Material And Methods: For all patients from the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) registry with isolated fractures of the pelvic ring or acetabulum in work-related accidents, linear trend analyses were carried out among others for the proportion of MdE ≥20%, the proportion of cases receiving pension/severance pay and total costs for pension/severance pay from 2013 to 2019.

Introduction: IUDs are effective, reversible and safe methods of contraception. The mechanism of action of IUDs as a group is inducing endometrial atrophy, apoptosis, altering tubal motility; preventing sperm permeability, fertilization, and implantation. Complications of IUD include menstrual disturbance, pelvic pain, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy with contraceptive failure, device expulsion, uterine perforation or transmural migration with misplacement of the device.
