Article Abstract
We report a case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman who suffered a combined type pelvic fracture and medial malleolus fracture due to a car accident at 24 weeks and 2 days of gestation. She underwent external fixation of the pelvic ring and percutaneous screw fixation of the ankle fracture. She recovered well and delivered a healthy baby by cesarean section at 37 weeks and 1-day gestation. External fixation can be a definitive treatment option for some pelvic fractures with anterior instability in pregnant patients, as it reduces the risk of fetal harm.
