- Abstract: In unstable pelvic ring injury, if there is damage to both the anterior and posterior, both anterior and posterior fixation will be needed in order to stabilze the pelvic ring. A female patient complained of dyspareunia due to malunion and additional bone bridge at the inferior ramus of the pelvis. She should have undergone both anterior and posterior fixation, but had undergone anterior fixation only. We report on a patient who was treated successfully with resection of additional bone bridge, scar tissue and adhesive band around the vagina.
