    European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery (2019) 45:213–219 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00068-018-1046-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Minimally invasive surgical treatment using ‘iliac pillar’ screw for isolated iliac wing fractures in geriatric patients: a new challenge Weon‑Yoo Kim1,2 · Se‑Won Lee1,3 · Ki‑Won Kim1,3 · Soon‑Yong Kwon1,4 · Yeon‑Ho Choi5 Received: 1 May 2018 / Accepted: 29 October 2018 / Published online: 1 November 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Purpose There have been no prior case series of isolated iliac wing fracture (IIWF) due to low-energy trauma in geriatric patients in the literature. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of IIWF in geriatric patients, and to pre- sent a case series of IIWF in geriatric patients who underwent our minimally invasive screw fixation technique named ‘iliac pillar screw fixation’. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed six geriatric patients over 65 years old who had isolated iliac wing fracture treated with minimally invasive screw fixation technique between January 2006 and April 2016. Results Six geriatric patients received iliac pillar screw fixation for acute IIWFs. The incidence of IIWFs was approximately 3.5% of geriatric patients with any pelvic bone fractures. The main fracture line exists in common; it extends from a point between the anterosuperior iliac spine and the anteroinferior iliac spine to a point located at the dorsal 1/3 of the iliac crest whether fracture was comminuted or not. Regarding the Koval walking ability, patients who underwent iliac pillar screw fixation technique tended to regain their pre-injury walking including one patient in a previously bedridden state.

  • Lab #23 Anal Triangle
    THE BONY PELVIS AND ANAL TRIANGLE (Grant's Dissector [16th Ed.] pp. 141-145) TODAY’S GOALS: 1. Identify relevant bony features/landmarks on skeletal materials or pelvic models. 2. Identify the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. 3. Describe the organization and divisions of the perineum into two triangles: anal triangle and urogenital triangle 4. Dissect the ischiorectal (ischioanal) fossa and define its boundaries. 5. Identify the inferior rectal nerve and artery, the pudendal (Alcock’s) canal and the external anal sphincter. DISSECTION NOTES: The perineum is the diamond-shaped area between the upper thighs and below the inferior pelvic aperture and pelvic diaphragm. It is divided anatomically into 2 triangles: the anal triangle and the urogenital (UG) triangle (Dissector p. 142, Fig. 5.2). The anal triangle is bounded by the tip of the coccyx, sacrotuberous ligaments, and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. It contains the anal canal, which pierced the levator ani muscle portion of the pelvic diaphragm. The urogenital triangle is bounded by the ischiopubic rami to the inferior surface of the pubic symphysis and a line connecting the right and left ischial tuberosities. This triangular space contains the urogenital (UG) diaphragm that transmits the urethra (in male) and urethra and vagina (in female). A. Anal Triangle Turn the cadaver into the prone position. Make skin incisions as on page 144, Fig. 5.4 of the Dissector. Reflect skin and superficial fascia of the gluteal region in one flap to expose the large gluteus maximus muscle. This muscle has proximal attachments to the posteromedial surface of the ilium, posterior surfaces of the sacrum and coccyx, and the sacrotuberous ligament.

  • Approach to the Anterior Pelvis (Enneking Type III Resection) Bruno Fuchs, MD Phd & Franklin H.Sim, MD Indication 1
    Approach to the Anterior Pelvis (Enneking Type III Resection) Bruno Fuchs, MD PhD & Franklin H.Sim, MD Indication 1. Tumors of the pubis 2. part of internal and external hemipelvectomy 3. pelvic fractures Technique 1. Positioning: Type III resections involve the excision of a portion of the symphysis or the whole pubis from the pubic symphysis to the lateral margin of the obturator foramen. The best position for these patients is the lithotomy or supine position. The patient is widely prepared and draped in the lithotomy position with the affected leg free to allow manipulation during the procedure. This allows the hip to be flexed, adducted, and externally rotated to facilitate exposure. 2. Landmarks: One should palpate the ASIS, the symphysis with the pubic tubercles, and the ischial tuberosity. 3. Incision: The incision may be Pfannenstiel like with vertical limbs set laterally along the horizontal incision depending on whether the pubic bones on both sides are resected or not. Alternatively, if only one side is resected, a curved incision following the root of the thigh may be used. This incision begins below the inguinal ligament along the medial border of the femoral triangle and extends across the medial thigh a centimeter distal to the inguinal crease and perineum, to curve distally below the ischium several centimeters (Fig.1). 4. Full thickness flaps are raised so that the anterior inferior pubic ramus is shown in its entire length, from the pubic tubercle to the ischial spine. Laterally, the adductor muscles are visualized, cranially the pectineus muscle and the pubic tubercle with the insertion of the inguinal ligament (Fig.2).

  • Iliopectineal Ligament As an Important Landmark in Ilioinguinal Approach of the Anterior Acetabulum
    International Journal of Anatomy and Research, Int J Anat Res 2019, Vol 7(3.3):6976-82. ISSN 2321-4287 Original Research Article DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.16965/ijar.2019.274 ILIOPECTINEAL LIGAMENT AS AN IMPORTANT LANDMARK IN ILIOINGUINAL APPROACH OF THE ANTERIOR ACETABULUM: A CADAVERIC MORPHOLOGIC STUDY Ayman Ahmed Khanfour *1, Ashraf Ahmed Khanfour 2. *1 Anatomy department Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt. 2 Chairman of Orthopaedic surgery department Damanhour National Medical Institute Egypt. ABSTRACT Background: The iliopectineal ligament is the most stout anterior part of the iliopectineal membrane. It separates “lacuna musculorum” laterally from “lacuna vasorum” medially. This ligament is an important guide in the safe anterior approach to the acetabulum. Aim of the work: To study the detailed anatomy of the iliopectineal ligament demonstrating its importance as a surgical landmark in the anterior approach to the acetabulum. Material and methods: The material of this work included eight adult formalin preserved cadavers. Dissection of the groin was done for each cadaver in supine position with exposure of the inguinal ligament. The iliopectineal ligament and the three surgical windows in the anterior approach to the acetabulum were revealed. Results: Results described the detailed morphological anatomy of the iliopectineal ligament as regard its thickness, attachments and variations in its thickness. The study also revealed important anatomical measurements in relation to the inguinal ligament. The distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle ranged from 6.7 to 10.1 cm with a mean value of 8.31±1.3. The distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the blending point of the iliopectineal ligament to the inguinal ligament ranged from 1.55 to 1.92 cm with a mean value of 1.78±0.15.

  • Preventing Athletic Pubalgia and Chronic Groin Pain in the Soccer Player Layout 1
    ERFORMANCE P SOCCER CONDITIONING A NEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING SOCCER PLAYERS www.performancecondition.com/soccer Preventing Athletic Pubalgia and Chronic Groin Pain in the Soccer Player Chet North The Many Causes of Groin Pain There can be pain in the hip area because of the many different structures there. You have glands that fight off infection plus muscles and tendons located in your upper thighs under the crease of your thigh and abdomen. There is a lot going on in this area. Adding to the situation in highly competitive soccer, even the articulating surface of the hips can cause some pain. With all this it's really hard to differentiate what the pain might be. Is it an articulating surface? Tendonitis? Rupture of a muscle or tendon? Or is it a situation where a tendon separated from part of a bone? There are many causes of pain in this very mobile area. As a coach, to call it pubalgia in the training room or on the soccer field is hard to do. It might be a strain or tendonitis of an adductor, which pulls the hip in. It might be a hip flexor, which brings the hip forward. It might be a pubalgia-type injury where you have strain of the abdominal wall and structures of the lower abdominal area; however, it's hard to determine. It's vague, and that's why you want to have a doctor look at these symptoms early on. A lot of the injuries we think are just muscle strains can be much more than that.
