Background: The aim of the study was to introduce a novel percutaneous technique for the treatment of pelvic ring injuries using a percutaneous anterior pelvic bridge (PAPB) with K-wire.
Methods: From December 2010 to November 2016, a prospective study of 86 patients with anterior pelvic ring fracture (42 utilizing PAPB with K-wire and 44 utilizing PAPB). Patient data was retrieved from electronic charts. Radiological results were assessed based on the Matta criteria system to evaluate the quality of the reduction and time to union. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Majeed scoring system. Postoperative complications were also recorded.
Results: Age, sex, cause of injury, type of fracture, functional recovery, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, union time, Majeed scoring and complications did not differ significantly between the two groups. The quality of the reduction and pain scoring differed between groups (all p-values < 0.05). Group A got better reduction and less pain scoring.
Conclusions: The novel percutaneous technique with hybrid fixation using PAPB with K-wire is a successful alternative for the treatment of pelvic ring injuries, which results in better quality of reduction and less pain scoring outcomes comparing to PAPB. May the PAPB + K-wire could provide more stability.

Background: pelvis and shoulder are deeply integrated. They are connected by myofascial slings. The pelvic and spinal posture affects the position of the scapula and the activity of its muscles and affects acromio-humeral distance and so that affects shoulder movement.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to elucidate the clinical utility of two reference lines, the pubosacrococcygeal joint line (PCL) and pubococcygeal joint line (PCL), in the quantitative diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and pelvic floor laxity.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of magnetic resonance defecography (MRD) in patients with stage II or above POP was conducted. POP and pelvic floor relaxation were quantitatively assessed using both PCL and PCL as reference lines.

Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Purpose: The dynamic alignment of the lumbar spine, pelvis and femur is increasingly studied in hip preservation surgery. However, the interaction between lumbopelvic alignment, acetabular and femoral morphology and its influence on patients' preoperative symptom burden remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether lumbopelvic malalignment affects osseous hip morphology and exacerbates preoperative patient-reported joint functionality in patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).

Advancements in cancer care have significantly extended the life expectancy of rectal cancer patients and the impact of treatment-related toxicity on long-term quality of life has become a crucial factor in determining the most suitable type of neoadjuvant therapy, particularly for patients who are likely to undergo surgery. While radiotherapy has traditionally been regarded as the cornerstone for achieving improved local control in rectal cancer, it is accompanied by a range of associated complications, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, gonadal ablation, and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome. De-escalation of treatment is undoubtedly beneficial for many patients, and this approach should be tailored to consider their expectations while prioritizing patient care in decision-making.
