AI Article Synopsis
- * Genitourinary injuries are a common issue, occurring in about 5-6% of pelvic ring injuries, but there's little research on related injuries that arise after initial treatment.
- * The authors present a rare case of delayed bladder perforation due to screw loosening post-surgery for an anterior pelvic ring injury, highlighting it as a notable complication not previously reported in Korea.
Article Abstract
Pelvic ring injuries have high mortality and morbidity rates, and they are difficult to treat because accompanying injuries to the pelvic organs, genitourinary organs, and neurovascular tissues are common. Genitourinary injuries are common comorbid injuries that have been reported to occur in 5% to 6% of all pelvic ring injuries. However, these injuries usually occur simultaneously with the pelvic ring injury, whereas relatively little research has dealt with genitourinary injuries that occur after treatment of a pelvic ring injury. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of delayed bladder perforation due to screw loosening after symphyseal plate fixation in anterior pelvic ring injury have been reported worldwide, and no such cases have yet been reported in Korea. Since the authors experienced this very rare complication after pelvic ring surgery, we report this case along with a literature review.
