  • Title: [Complications in surgical management of pelvic fractures].
    Author: Poigenfürst J, Ender HG, Zadra A.
    Journal: Unfallchirurg; 1992 Apr; 95(4):210-3. PubMed ID: 1636102.
    Abstract:
    In the care of pelvic injuries complications arise because of organizational and technical factors, some of which are described here. The following measures are important: autotransfusion, emptying the bladder and catheterization, checking and protection of the colon, correct management of the operation table, and prophylactic measures to avoid thrombosis. From an operational/technical point of view, it is most important that a larger with good exposure route be chosen that takes the anatomical structures into account. Of 123 cases, 20% were not ideally reduced. Twice massive bleeding occurred from the A. glutea superior, once the sacral dura was opened without any adverse effects, infection occurred 8 times and 10 times peroneal paralysis was observed.
