Title: Rupture of the symphysis pubis during labor. Author: Dhar S, Anderton JM. Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1992 Oct; (283):252-7. PubMed ID: 1395254. Abstract: Two cases of spontaneous rupture of the symphysis pubis (SP) during delivery are reported. The separations were associated with considerable pain, swelling, and tenderness over the symphysis pubis and were confirmed roentgenographically. Both patients were treated conservatively with bed rest, mostly in the lateral decubitus position, within pelvic binders. Immobilization was discontinued when they were pain free. The SP separations remained in reduced positions. The patients were essentially asymptomatic and walked normally. Conservative treatment followed by early mobilization is adequate treatment for SP separations.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
