Progress in research into osteotomy correction for old pelvic fractures / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Treatment of a pelvic fracture may be delayed frequently because other systemic multiple injuries are more critical and need urgent operative management, rendering the pelvic fracture obsolete. Old pelvic fractures are often accompanied by chronic pain, pelvic ring deformity, limb shortening and gait instability, which usually need to be corrected by osteotomy. There have been no standard procedures but controversy lasts in osteotomy correction for pelvic malunion. This paper reviews the current related literature to summarize the advances in research of osteotomy correction for pelvic fracture malunion, hoping to provide reference for the treatment of old pelvic fractures.
