    Author: Imanishi J, Yazawa Y, Oda H, Okubo T.
    Journal: J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong); 2015 Aug; 23(2):255-8. PubMed ID: 26321564.
    Abstract:
    Type 3 internal hemipelvectomy involves resection of the pubis. We report on 2 patients who underwent type 3 internal hemipelvectomy. One patient developed a bladder hernia, tumour recurrence, and a pathological fracture of the proximal femur. These were resolved with external hemipelvectomy 7 months later. Another patient underwent additional fascia lata transplantation to prevent development of hernia. Both patients had a stress fracture in the contralateral posterior ilium mimicking bone metastasis.
