Abstract
|
|
|
|
The crescent fracture consists of a posterior iliac wing fracture with extension into the sacroiliac joint and a dislocation of the sacroiliac joint. This fracture represents a subset of lateral compression injury. The strong posterior ligaments of sacroiliac joint remain intact and a fracture fragment (crescent shape) involving the posterior superior iliac spines remains firmly attached to the sacrum. We report a patient with atypical pelvic crescent fracture that is mainly influenced by vertical shear injury and is characterized by posterior fracture-dislocations of the sacroiliac joint. In this case report, we review the literature on classification and treatment of atypical type of crescent fracture.
