    Major disruption of the pelvic ring during normal vaginal delivery : a case report
    (South African Orthopaedic Association, 2017) Van Heukelum, M.; Blake, C.
    Open-book pelvic fractures are generally associated with high energy trauma. Occasionally these fractures are seen as a complication of normal vaginal delivery. We report the case of a 25-year-old female with a 77 mm symphysis pubis diastasis with associated disruption of the sacroiliac joints following delivery, which was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
