Abstract
RATIONALE: Anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint combined with pelvic fractures is relatively rare in clinical practice. It is often associated with hemodynamic instability and severe injuries to other regions, resulting in a complex condition, prolonged treatment duration, and high rates of mortality and disability. However, there are few reports in the literature describing the diagnosis and treatment of anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint. In this case, the patient sustained a pelvic fracture with anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation and rupture of both the internal and external iliac arteries following a motor vehicle accident, making it an even rarer and more challenging case to treat. Reporting such cases can enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation with rupture of the iliac arteries and provide valuable references for similar cases. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was riding an electric bicycle and was hit by a small truck, resulting in a pelvic fracture, anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, and rupture of the internal and external iliac arteries. DIAGNOSIS: The patient was diagnosed with open pelvic fracture (type C1.2), left complete anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, left acetabular fracture, left internal and external iliac arteriovenous rupture. INTERVENTIONS: emergency room resuscitation, intensive care unit resuscitation, 6 surgeries and perioperative management. RESULTS: He has been discharged from the hospital for more than 1 year and was rechecked every month after discharge, the fracture has healed, there is no obvious pain and discomfort in and around the wound, he has been fitted with a prosthesis, and he is doing the walking function exercise. LESSONS: Pelvic fracture with anterior sacroiliac dislocation is clinically rare and critical, and is associated with large vessel rupture, severe organ damage, and high mortality and disability rates. Rapid restoration of pelvic stability and hemodynamic stability is the key to treatment. Rapid transfer to a tertiary trauma center, rapid examination through the green channel to clarify the diagnosis, close intensive care, and reasonable multidisciplinary teamwork for surgical intervention are all valuable experiences that we have concluded.
