Fracture of Right Ischeal and Pubic Ramus: Symptoms and Treatment

About

Breaking of the lower pelvic (hip) bones.

Only 3% of all fractures in adults are pelvic fractures, and the majority of the pubic rami fractures are in the anterior ring. (1),(2)

- Treatable by medical professionals
- Medical diagnosis is required
- Laboratory tests and imaging are often required
- Medium term: Resolves in 1-3 months

Ischium (sit bones) and pubic rami (thin and flat bones) form part of the anterior pelvic ring. The fracture is often caused by physical trauma, like road accident or fall from standing. They could be atraumatic too, resulting in delayed diagnosis. Osteoporosis, where bones become weak and brittle, is a risk factor, long-distance runners also being at risk.

Ages affected: Most affected: 50+
