Title: Pelvic Trauma Radiology


1
Pelvic TraumaRadiology
  • November 2001

2
Classification
  • stable vs. unstable
  • breaks in the ring
  • posterior arch vs. anterior arch OR both
  • single bone without break of ring
  • acetabular
  • mechanism LC, AP, VS

3
Stable
  • low speed mechanisms
  • falls from low height
  • athletic injuries
  • most common pubic ramus/body
  • Other transverse sacral, coccyx,
    apophyseal/avulsion injuries

4
Unstable
  • involve both anterior and posterior arches
  • mechanisms
  • high speed MVCs or fall from height
  • lateral compression ? transverse pubic rami ,
    iliac wing, sacrum
  • anterior compression ? open-book injury,
    longitudinal rami
  • vertical shearing forces
  • SI joint subluxation/dislocation, symphyseal
    diastasis

5
associated injuries
  • pelvis is boney ring find one fracture, look
    for another
  • subluxation/dislocation SI jt or pubic symphysis
  • acetabulum/femoral head/joint fragments
  • pelvic contents
  • bladder/urethra, rectalsigmoid, vagina/uterus,
    vasculature, nerve

6
acetabular
  • types
  • posterior
  • ilioischial column
  • transverse
  • iliopubic
  • associated with hip dislocation

7
avulsions
  • ASIS sartorius
  • AIIS rectus femoris
  • ischial tuberosity hamstring (kicking)
