[ORT-L] Neglected pelvis	Can't Post

Dear colleagues,

Patient 18 y.o. with pelvic injury after RTA 2 month ago.
High amputation of the left femur was performed in the initial
hospital. Deep wound infection occurred which resulted with
exarticulation of the left hip. Pelvic injury was treated by bed rest
only. 2 month later the partient referred to our unit.

Vlosed reduction of AP and vertical displacement
of the posterior aspect was performed. Today it is 3 month after the
injury. The question is how to reduce the anterior part of the pelvis?
How the left and right rami can be mobilized and reduced? Maybe left
through the initial fracture lines in the acetabulum, or more
anteriorly? What approach(es) should be used? Any other advices and
suggestions?

THX in advance.
