It was a year ago today that I came out of surgery to fix my open book / vertical sheer fracture. Six screws, a plate and two bolts later I’m almost back to where I was before the accident. If it wasn’t for you and Doctors like you, I wouldn’t be here. Thank-you for all the people (including me) that you have helped!

I'm an orthopaedic postgraduate trainee from Sri Lanka. I'm getting lot from your videos. They gives good illustrations. Thank you Dr Nabil.

Wonderful video.....very detailed....my cousin was in a motorcycle accident today and he broke both arms, pelvic bone and had internal bleeding...not to mention most of his skin was completely skinned off...your video explained clearly the type of fracture he got...thanks

Hey anyone who knows if a dancer can still dance after having a pelvic fracture?

Thank you doctor for this simple amazing explanation

I am recovering from pelvis break. The most difficult thing is bowel elimination. I keep it soft but can't pass stools except repeatedly enter a finger then wipe it clean until feelings of bloating stop. Do not suffer a broken pelvis!

Thanks for helpful video!

Excellent

I had surgery to fuse left SI joint. New experimental procedure. Surgeon tried to fuse the joint thru the back. He broke apart the si joint area. He focused on blood loss. He packed the area he broke in half using pig bone. He didn’t know he’d broken my pubic bone in half. Is this a vertical sheer fracture? He didn’t repair the pubic bone. On X-ray one side is higher than the other. X-Ray shows the bottom corner of higher side touching the upper corner of the lower side. The surgeon never changed my chart. He sent me home after 2 days. One metal bar with 2 screws he designed “for an average size man” held my sacral area together. He told me & my x husband I’d walk out of the hospital. At home i saw my left buttock & thigh was black (from blood loss?) at 6 week post op i asked him why my groin & inner thighs hurt so much. His response “you have a dislocated pubic bone, have it fixed during PT visits” i repeated his lie 2007-2014. 2012 i had a pain pump put into my abdomen & it delivered dilaudid into my spinal fluid. 2014 i brought my x-Ray to pain doc & repeated the lie. He said, “there’s no such thing as a dislocated pubic bone!” He put my X-ray on the window. “Omg, you’ve been walking on a broken pelvis for five years!” I asked him what do i do. He knew my xhusband was abusive, Doc said, “If you were my wife I’d send you to a trauma surgeon at Tulane, Johns Hopkins or Vanderbilt” at Vanderbilt surgeon specialized in pelvic injury. He said “I’ve never seen a patient with a pelvic like yours walk into my clinic” i knew it was 50% mortality rate to break it apart. He sent me to have a CT. Day of surgery he asked if he can open original side due to an anomaly. Woke up 4 days later. He found osteomyelitis. He removed dead & dying bone, flooded me with antibiotics & i went into renal failure. Bed rest 4 moths. Two screws to hold left leg onto body. Picc line from bicep to heart for 30 days. Pain doc said I’d die suddenly & to tell family etc..he refused to tell me how i would die. That was 7yrs ago. Now my right SI joint is failing. Incredible pain again but new leg. I cannot have it repaired. I look normal. I can walk & sit an hour or 2 but need a week of rest to recover. I’m so tired of making family & friends understand. What will make them stop making me feel guilty for not wanting to socialize?

Very well explained 👍🏼

Thanks for your efforts 👍

fantastic as always, :)

@Kavin2k7 thanks

Thank you for a very informative video. I always look forward to a new video from you. I have a favor to ask from you. Could you please make a video which shows how to perform 'Total hip replacement' and 'Total knee replacement' operations for someone who is going to perform these operations for the first time.

Good video... Kindly discuss LC in detail... Thanks

very useful.

Seems to be a very serious fracture! What key factor makes the outcome so unpredictable? Is it the blood loss?

thank you sir .

Very informative video. Can please tell us what types or kinds of pin to use. My Mother is going for pelvic surgery. Is the pin that really expensive?

So I got in a fight with 3 guys and one slammed on on the floor real hard I went to the hospital because I was limping and my rite thigh hurt a little well somewhat a lot they said that they had to do surgery rite away but I was scared and never got it , and now two years later my rite thigh feels like it’s on fire and it’s numb and today at work I tried to walk fast and it was a weird pain like my leg was pulling out what is going on doctor ?

Thanks alot you are great

Animated vedio & pictures sooo greate

I would be grateful if you could suggest me what exercises can be practiced by a patient having such fracture

THANKS FOR THIS FABULOUS VID :) save me for my exam:)

@dhx9 thanks

@MrVickydoc great

@mkhristov great

I was ran over by a car and left with two titanium pins on the right side and a titanium rod that went from my back left side to my right side. The rod was removed a few years later but they won't remove the pins on the lower right inside of my pelvis that cause more discomfort than the 4inch rod through my back side did. They won't seem to return my calls on answering my question of why can't they be removed...

Great thanx

perfect thanks a lot!!!!

hey doc, i want to ask, how bad is open book pelvic fracture? what happen if you don't have surgery when your symphysis pubis open about 2.9cm?

excellent video ,it would otherwise take 3 hours for me to read pelvic fractures

is there any chance to work with dr nabiel ebrahim. if yes please do leme know.i want to work with him

I really want to be an orthopedic surgeon but every time I hear Symphysis Pubic I giggle😂 it's such a weird word

so when my wife gave birth she fractured her pubic symphysis, doctor said the ligaments came apart in between. she had surgery, a plate on that area with a piece of her pelvic bone placed in-between the pubic and 3 bolts in her back. my question is, its been almost 6 years since the Operation, will she be able to remove those bolts in her back and maybe the plating on the pubic symphysis without major issues? i would love if someone can answer this please.

@dfsabryk thanks

Sir. I met with an accident and my hand got factured and my pelvic bone got opened, open book pelvic surgery has been done, plates have been fixed, when can i remove plates from the body

Can you for example do this with endoscopy...fix the symphisis pubis with a plate?! Just a rhetorical question.

this is sooo f up..i'm sorry if u r going thru it now..couple things that may help u; have a back scratcher - u won't be able to bend for couple months! have a bag- if u drop, say a paper, it'll be nightmare picking it up. u may have to lay on your back for couple months...sorry for your pain..perhaps u can escape the pain/bordom by learning a language!

@1981shafiq thanks
