The treatment is only orthopedic in our department. The aim of this work was to study the current therapeutic aspects management of the disjunction of the pubic symphysis in the department of ortho-traumatology of CHU Gabriel Touré of Bamako MALI. This was a prospective and analytical study;from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022, within 15 patients classified according to Young and Burgess, with a functional evaluation according to Majeed and a minimum follow-up of 4 months. We report symphyseal disconnections accounted for 20.83% of the traumas of the pelvic ring, and 1.84% of patients hospitalized for fracture in the department during the period of the study. We noted a predominance of gender male in 87% of cases with a ratio of 2.75 and the average age in our series was 32 years, with extremes ranging from 18 to 63 and a SD of 13.96. The most common etiologies are APR with 66.7% and traditional mine slide cases with 20%, and the anteroposterior compression mechanism is most frequently encountered at 73.3%. The APCI types: 20%, APCII: 40% and VC: 20% of the Young and Burgess classification are the most found. The treatment of these patients was surgical in 53% cases by locked screw plate. The surgical approach of Pfannenstiel was preferred to the ilio-inguinal of Judet. Non-surgical treatment by trans-osseous traction and the wearing of a pelvic belt was recommended for cases of stable disjunction or severe associated lesions. The average length of stay is 17.27 days with extremes of 5 and 34 days. The functional assessment according to Majeed allowed us to classify 73.3% of patients’ cases as excellent, showing a good socio-professional reintegration. Symphyseal disjunction is a rare pathology but of serious functional consequences, regardless of the therapeutic method good management allows to minimize these functional sequelae.展开更多

Most of these wounds are superficial partial thickness burns. Due to their proximity to the urinary system, as well as vaginal and anal openings,these burns are easily contaminated. Daily dressings are routinely prescribed as the sole treatment. The cumbersome dressing process is uncomfortable and embarrassing for patients. Biobrane^(TM) is a bilayered biosynthetic dressing. Its coverage of superficial partial thickness burns promotes wound healing and allows one-time application.Case presentations: We report two patients who suffered superficial dermal burns over their pubic region. One patient had 23% total body surface area(TBSA) burns over her lower abdomen, both thighs and pubic region. The second patient had 10% TBSA burns that involved her perineum and the medial sides of both thighs and buttocks.Both were managed with the standard resuscitation protocol in the initial phase. Their burn injuries were managed by shaving, Foley catheterization and Biobrane^(TM) coverage. Their wounds healed uneventfully without complications.Full epithelization was achieved by post-operative day seven. Both patients consented to medical photography and academic publication.Conclusions: Shaving and catheterization improved the hygiene of the burns of the pubic area. The Biobrane^(TM)method circumvents the need of regular dressing changes, eliminating the pain due to dressing changes and preserving patient dignity.展开更多

We report a case of a 59-year-old man who experienced severe pubic, abdominal and lower back pain due to a bounce after a asynchronous rhythm of horseback riding without a saddle. The patient was referred to our Emergency Department because of a suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Computer tomography demonstrated diastasis of the pubic symphysis, active bleeding of a branch of the left internal iliac artery and a massive retroperitoneal haematoma. The arterial bleeding was directly coiled in the emergency setting, the stable pubic symphysiolysis was treated conservatively and the haematoma was surgically drained after three days. Bareback horse riding can lead to a pelvic fracture and severe bleeding leading to haemodynamical instability and life threatening situations. Using proper protective equipment including a saddle to prevent equestrian injury should be emphasized.展开更多

Methods： From July 1988 to June 2003, a total of 575 patients, aged between 15 and 73 years, underwent high ligation of the internal spermatic vein for treatment of a varicocele testis under a regional block in which a precise injection of 0.8 % lidocaine solution was delivered to involved tissues after exact anatomical references were made. A 100-mm visual analog scale （VAS） was used to assess whether the pain level was acceptable. Results： The surgeries were bilateral in 52 cases, and unilateral in 523 cases. All were successfully performed on an outpatient basis except in the case of two patients, who were hospitalized because their surgeries required general anesthesia. Overall, 98.6 % （567/575） of men could go back to work by the end of the first post-operative week and only 8 （1.4 %） men reported feeling physical discomfort on the eighth day. The VAS scores varied from 11 mm to 41 mm with an average of （18.5 ± 11.3） mm that was regarded as tolerable. Conclusion： This study has shown varicocelectomy under local anesthesia to be possible, simple, effective, reliable and reproducible, and a safe method with minimal complications. It offers the advantages of more privacy, lower morbidity, with no notable adverse effects resulting from anesthesia, and a more rapid return to regular physical activity with minor complications.展开更多

Common risk factors of PSD include precipitous labor, rapid second stage of labor, intense uterine contractions, prior pelvic pathology, multiparity and macrosomia. Diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed by imaging. Management of PSD depends on the severity of symptoms and degree of symphysis separation. Standard therapy is conservative, but surgery may be needed in severe cases. Case Report: A 25-year-old female at term pregnancy presented in active labor and had a rapid second stage of labor without intravenous oxytocin or an epidural. She was subsequently diagnosed with severe PSD with a 5.5 cm separation. Her management included a pelvic binder, pain management, physical therapy, and serial imaging to monitor improvement. Discussion: In severe cases, surgery can be avoided in favor of conservative measures for the management of PSD. Multidisciplinary involvement with orthopedic surgery, radiology, physical therapy, and anesthesiology can play a vital role in optimal management. PSD may recur in future deliveries, but this does not preclude vaginal birth.展开更多

The discontinuity of the superior pubic rami is a risk factor for this complication. We investigated the stress field differences in standing and sitting positions after CPO. Methods: We used finite element analysis to assess the effects of inferior pubic rami and ischial fractures with or without discontinuity of superior pubic rami. We used the “union model”, obtained from a bony union at the osteotomy site of the superior pubic rami from 38-year-old woman who had undergone CPO for left hip dysplasia. We deleted the bony union region and created a discontinuity in the superior pubic rami equal to the non-union, creating the “discontinuity model”. We compared the stress field and stress value in the simulated standing and half weight-bearing positions on the operative side, one-legged standing position on the non-operative side, and the sitting position. Findings: In 4 cases, the inferior rami experienced the highest stress. Stress values in the discontinuity model were higher than those in the union model: 1.7 times in the case of one-legged standing on the operative side, 2.4 times in the case of half weight-bearing on the operative side, 3.8 times in the case of one-legged standing on the non-operative side, and 2.0 times in the sitting position, respectively. Interpretation: We recommend patients delay weight bearing on the operative side, avoid the sitting position as long as possible, and sit down slowly to prevent inferior pubic rami and ischial fractures after CPO.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Separation of the pubic symphysis can occur during the peripartum period.Relaxin(RLX)is a hormone primarily secreted by the corpus luteum that can mediate hemodynamic changes during pregnancy as well as loosen the pelvic ligaments.However,it is unknown whether RLX is associated with peripartum pubic symphysis separation and if the association is affected by other factors.AIM To study the association between RLX and peripartum pubic symphysis separation and evaluate other factors that might affect this association.METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of pregnant women between April 2019 and January 2020.Baseline demographic characteristics,including gestational age,weight,neonatal weight,delivery mode and duration of the first and second stages of labor,were recorded.The clinical symptoms were used as a screening index during pregnancy,and the patients with pubic symphysis and inguinal pain were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography to determine whether there was pubic symphysis separation.Serum RLX concentrations were evaluated 1 d after delivery using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and pubic symphysis separation was diagnosed based on postpartum X-ray examination.We used an independent-sample t test to analyze the association between serum RLX levels and peripartum pubic symphysis separation.Multivariate regression analysis was used to evaluate whether the association between RLX and peripartum pubic symphysis separation was confounded by other factors,and the association between RLX and the severity of pubic symphysis separation was also assessed.We used Pearson correlation analysis to determine the factors related to RLX levels as well as the correlation between the degree of pubic symphysis separation and activities of daily living(ADL)and pain.RESULTS A total of 54 women were enrolled in the study,with 15 exhibiting(observational group)and 39 not exhibiting(control group)peripartum pubic symphysis separation.There were no statistically significant differences in terms of maternal
文摘Pubic symphysiolysis and retroperitoneal arterial vessel rupture after bareback horse riding is a rare traumatic combination. We report a case of a 59-year-old man who experienced severe pubic, abdominal and lower back pain due to a bounce after a asynchronous rhythm of horseback riding without a saddle. The patient was referred to our Emergency Department because of a suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Computer tomography demonstrated diastasis of the pubic symphysis, active bleeding of a branch of the left internal iliac artery and a massive retroperitoneal haematoma. The arterial bleeding was directly coiled in the emergency setting, the stable pubic symphysiolysis was treated conservatively and the haematoma was surgically drained after three days. Bareback horse riding can lead to a pelvic fracture and severe bleeding leading to haemodynamical instability and life threatening situations. Using proper protective equipment including a saddle to prevent equestrian injury should be emphasized.

文摘Aim： To report a series of varicocelectomy performed under pure local anesthesia. Methods： From July 1988 to June 2003, a total of 575 patients, aged between 15 and 73 years, underwent high ligation of the internal spermatic vein for treatment of a varicocele testis under a regional block in which a precise injection of 0.8 % lidocaine solution was delivered to involved tissues after exact anatomical references were made. A 100-mm visual analog scale （VAS） was used to assess whether the pain level was acceptable. Results： The surgeries were bilateral in 52 cases, and unilateral in 523 cases. All were successfully performed on an outpatient basis except in the case of two patients, who were hospitalized because their surgeries required general anesthesia. Overall, 98.6 % （567/575） of men could go back to work by the end of the first post-operative week and only 8 （1.4 %） men reported feeling physical discomfort on the eighth day. The VAS scores varied from 11 mm to 41 mm with an average of （18.5 ± 11.3） mm that was regarded as tolerable. Conclusion： This study has shown varicocelectomy under local anesthesia to be possible, simple, effective, reliable and reproducible, and a safe method with minimal complications. It offers the advantages of more privacy, lower morbidity, with no notable adverse effects resulting from anesthesia, and a more rapid return to regular physical activity with minor complications.
文摘Background: Pubic symphysis diastasis (PSD) is an uncommon complication of labor and delivery. Common risk factors of PSD include precipitous labor, rapid second stage of labor, intense uterine contractions, prior pelvic pathology, multiparity and macrosomia. Diagnosis is made clinically and confirmed by imaging. Management of PSD depends on the severity of symptoms and degree of symphysis separation. Standard therapy is conservative, but surgery may be needed in severe cases. Case Report: A 25-year-old female at term pregnancy presented in active labor and had a rapid second stage of labor without intravenous oxytocin or an epidural. She was subsequently diagnosed with severe PSD with a 5.5 cm separation. Her management included a pelvic binder, pain management, physical therapy, and serial imaging to monitor improvement. Discussion: In severe cases, surgery can be avoided in favor of conservative measures for the management of PSD. Multidisciplinary involvement with orthopedic surgery, radiology, physical therapy, and anesthesiology can play a vital role in optimal management. PSD may recur in future deliveries, but this does not preclude vaginal birth.
文摘Background: Postoperative pubic or ischial stress fracture may be a complication after curved periacetabular osteotomy (CPO). The discontinuity of the superior pubic rami is a risk factor for this complication. We investigated the stress field differences in standing and sitting positions after CPO. Methods: We used finite element analysis to assess the effects of inferior pubic rami and ischial fractures with or without discontinuity of superior pubic rami. We used the “union model”, obtained from a bony union at the osteotomy site of the superior pubic rami from 38-year-old woman who had undergone CPO for left hip dysplasia. We deleted the bony union region and created a discontinuity in the superior pubic rami equal to the non-union, creating the “discontinuity model”. We compared the stress field and stress value in the simulated standing and half weight-bearing positions on the operative side, one-legged standing position on the non-operative side, and the sitting position. Findings: In 4 cases, the inferior rami experienced the highest stress. Stress values in the discontinuity model were higher than those in the union model: 1.7 times in the case of one-legged standing on the operative side, 2.4 times in the case of half weight-bearing on the operative side, 3.8 times in the case of one-legged standing on the non-operative side, and 2.0 times in the sitting position, respectively. Interpretation: We recommend patients delay weight bearing on the operative side, avoid the sitting position as long as possible, and sit down slowly to prevent inferior pubic rami and ischial fractures after CPO.

文摘Background:Historical research is limited in changes in pubertal development in Chinese girls.We aimed to identify the timing of pubertal characteristics and the secular trend of menarche age among Beijing girls from the 1980s through the 2000s.Methods:Six data sets were analyzed,including the Beijing Child and Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome study in 2004,where 9778 Bejing girls aged 6–18 years were studied.The Fetal Origins of Adult Disease study provided retrospective menarche age from 1940 through 1960.Other four studies were conducted in Beijing to obtain supplementary information to assess secular trend in menarche age.Linear regression method was used to analyze the data.Results:Among Beijing girls in 2004,the median age at menarche was 12.1 years,which was 0.6 years earlier in urban than in rural areas.The median age at Breast Tanner Stage 2 was 9.5±1.2 years,representing 9.4±1.1 years and 9.6±1.2 years for urban and rural girls,respectively.In contrast,the median age at Pubic Hair Tanner Stage 2 was 11.1±1.1 years,representing 10.8±1.1 and 11.4±1.1 years for urban and rural girls,respectively.The menarche age of urban girls decreased by 4.2 months per decade,and that of rural girls by 9.6 months per decade from 1980 to 2004.Conclusions:Urban girls mature earlier than rural girls in Beijing.A secular trend towards earlier menarche was observed between the 1980s and the 2000s.
