Abstract
Overall symptomatic pseudathrosis after pelvic ring fracture is rare. A pseudarthrosis of the dorsal pelvic ring often leads to persisting pain due to instability and needs a consequent treatment strategy. Often a bacterial infection can be found in persisting pseudarthrosis notably in the anterior pelvic ring region. It is assumed that the peculiar anatomical site of the surgical approach - pubic region and abdominal skinfold - in particular accompanied with adipositas is predestined. Often patients with pseudathrosis and proof of bacterial infection show no symptoms. In these cases treatment is not mandatory. Patients however who complain about persisting pain limited treatment options exist.The following case report demonstrates a treatment strategy to achieve pelvic ring stability and infection eradication using a silver ionised plate and screws as well as a tantalum cage.
