Fulltext Anterior stabilisation of sacroilliac joint for complex pelvic injuries

Wan Faisham WI, Nawaz AH, Joehaimey J, Sallehuddin AY, Wan Z

Malays J Med Sci, 2009 Jul;16(3):47-51.
PMID: 22589666 MyJurnal

Sacroilliac joint diasthesis from high energy trauma is always complicated with chronic pain and long term morbidity. Open anterior stabilisation with plate allow direct reduction and stabilisation with biomechanically advantages. Here we report on four cases of pelvic injury with sacroiliac joint disruption treated with anterior plate stabilisation through a surgical approach similar to that used for anterior ring fractures.

Fulltext Transarticular spread of the sacroiliac joint in a chondrosarcoma

Chong VFH, Pathmanathan R, Sambandan SS

Med J Malaysia, 1994 Sep;49(3):282-4.
PMID: 7845280

Primary bone tumours, even in very advanced stages, rarely exhibit transarticular spread. We present a case of chondrosarcoma of the ilium with destruction of the sacroiliac joint, the ipsilateral sacral ala and with sacral nerve involvement.

Fulltext Klebsiella pneumoniae sacroiliac septic arthritis: First case report

Chee YC, Lim CH

IDCases, 2018;14:e00459.
PMID: 30386726 DOI: 10.1016/j.idcr.2018.e00459

Infective sacroiliitis is a rare disease with misleading clinical signs that often delay diagnosis. We report a case of pyogenic sacroiliac joint septic arthritis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae that has not been reported in the literature highlighting it as one of the important etiologies of infective sacroiliitis especially among diabetics.

Fulltext Traumatic hemipelvectomy with free gluteus maximus fillet flap covers: a case report

Faisham W, Azman W, Muzaffar T, Muslim D, Azhar A, Yahya M

Malays Orthop J, 2012 Nov;6(3):37-9.
PMID: 25279054 MyJurnal DOI: 10.5704/MOJ.1207.002

Traumatic hemipelvectomy is an uncommon and life threatening injury. We report a case of a 16-year-old boy involved in a traffic accident who presented with an almost circumferential pelvic wound with wide diastasis of the right sacroiliac joint and symphysis pubis. The injury was associated with complete avulsion of external and internal iliac vessels as well as the femoral and sciatic nerves. He also had ipsilateral open comminuted fractures of the femur and tibia. Emergency debridement and completion of amputation with preservation of the posterior gluteal flap and primary anastomosis of the inferior gluteal vessels to the internal iliac artery stump were performed. A free fillet flap was used to close the massive exposed area.

Fulltext Surgical Treatment and Proposed Modified Classification for Harrington Class III Periacetabular Metastases

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to: (i) evaluate the outcome of patients with Harrington class III lesions who were treated according to Harrington classification; (ii) propose a modified surgical classification for Harrington class III lesions; and (iii) assess the efficiency of the proposed modified classification.
METHODS: This study composes two phases. During phase 1 (2006 to 2011), the clinical data of 16 patients with Harrington class III lesions who were treated by intralesional excision followed by reconstruction of antegrade/retrograde Steinmann pins/screws with cemented total hip arthroplasty (Harrington/modified Harrington procedure) were retrospectively reviewed and further analyzed synthetically to design a modified surgical classification system. In phase 2 (2013 to 2019), 62 patients with Harrington class III lesions were classified and surgically treated according to our modified classification. Functional outcome was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 93 scoring system. The outcome of local control was described using 2-year recurrence-free survival (RFS). Owing to the limited sample size, we considered P sacroiliac joint (IIIa) and the bone destruction extended proximal to inferior border of the sacroiliac joint (IIIb). Six patients with IIIb lesions had significant prolonged surgical time (313.3 vs 249.0 min, P = 0.022), massive intraoperative hemorrhage (3533.3 vs 1760.0 mL, P = 0.093), poor functional outcome (46.7% vs 62.3%, P = 0.093), and unfavorable local control (31.3% vs 80.0%, P = 0.037) compared to the 10 patients with IIIa lesions. We then modified the surgical strategy for two subgroup of class III lesions: Harrington/modified Harrington procedure for IIIa lesions and en bloc resection followed by modular hemipelvic endoprosthesis replacement for IIIb lesions. Using the proposed modified surgical classification, 62 patients in the phase 2 study demonstrated improved surgical time (245.3 min, P = 0.086), intraoperative hemorrhage (1466.0 mL, P = 0.092), postoperative MSTS 93 scores (65.3%, P = 0.067), and 2-year RFS rate (91.3%, P = 0.002) during a mean follow-up time of 19.9 (1 to 60) months compared to those in the phase 1 study.
CONCLUSION: The Harrington surgical classification is insufficient for class III lesions. We proposed modification of the classification for Harrington class III lesions by adding two subgroups and corresponding surgical strategies according to the involvement of bone destruction. Our proposed modified classification showed significant improvement in functional outcome and local control, along with acceptable surgical complexity in surgical management for Harrington class III lesions.

Fulltext Brodie's Abscess of Posterior Ilium with Gluteal Syndrome, an Unusual Cause of Paediatric Low Back Pain: A Case Report

Behera G, Poduval M, Patro DK, Sahoo S

Malays Orthop J, 2017 Jul;11(2):68-71.
PMID: 29021883 DOI: 10.5704/MOJ.1707.009

Brodie's abscess is a variety of subacute osteomyelitis with a long duration of presentation and intermittent pain. It usually involves the metaphyseal region of long bones of the lower limbs. Brodie's abscess of pelvic bone is very rare. Involvement of posterior ilium with gluteal syndrome is extremely unusual and can be easily missed or misdiagnosed. We present a 9-year old boy who reported to us with intermittent low back pain of three months duration without any other constitutional symptoms. Clinically, there was mild tenderness over the posterior ilium. Computed tomography showed a lytic lesion in the posterior ilium with a breach in the outer cortex. MRI and bone scan were suggestive of inflammatory pathology. Keeping infective, tubercular and benign bone tumors as differential diagnoses, open biopsy and curettage were done. Staphylococcus aureus was cultured and histopathology was suggestive of osteomyelitis. The patient received appropriate antibiotics for six weeks. He was asymptomatic till 18 months of follow up without any recurrence. We present this case because of its rarity and unusual presentation as gluteal syndrome and low back pain, and its resemblance to other pelvic and sacroiliac joint pathologies which are often missed or misdiagnosed in paediatric patients.
