Tratamento cirúrgico de fratura pélvica em gestante: relato de caso / Surgical treatment of pelvic fracture in pregnancy: a case report

ABSTRACT

The authors report the case of a 16-year-old woman in her 21st week of twin pregnancy who had an acetabular fracture and pelvis disruption after being overrun by a car. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed without affecting the pregnancy. On the 35th week, she was submitted to a cesarean section and gave birth to two healthy children. After 3 years, the patient had a pain-free hip with full range of motion. The authors conclude that surgical treatment was a good therapeutic approach in this case since it offered functional recovery with good long-term result.
