Pelvis

  • Hip Luxation

    Dislocation of the femoral head from the acetabulum, often caused by trauma or severe hip dysplasia. Surgical reduction and stabilization are required to restore joint function and prevent chronic instability.

    • Path
  • Ilial Body Fractures

    Fracture of the ilium, commonly resulting from high-impact trauma. Surgical fixation may be necessary for displaced fractures to maintain pelvic alignment and weight-bearing function.

    • Path
  • Ilial Wing Fractures

    Fractures of the iliac wing compromise pelvic integrity. Surgical fixation restores alignment and load distribution.

    • Path
  • Pelvic Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Degenerative changes in the hip joint leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Management ranges from medical therapy to surgical interventions such as total hip replacement for advanced disease.

    • Path
  • Proximal Femur Fractures

    Fracture involving the femoral head or neck, often secondary to trauma. Repair options include internal fixation or femoral head and neck excision in severe cases.

    • Path
  • Sacroiliac Luxation and Fractures

    Separation of the ilium from the sacrum at the SI joint, usually due to trauma. Stabilization with screws or pins is often required to restore pelvic integrity and prevent gait abnormalities.
