Bilateral sacroilac dislocations in an adolescent. A case report.
This is a case report of a 15-year-old female who sustained bilateral closed sacroiliac dislocations. She was successfully treated with bilateral skeletal traction and manual closed reduction. The sacroiliac joints redislocated partially despite further traction. Reduction by traction and pelvic sling was then recovered and further displacement was prevented. She regained full range of motion of her hips. This is an uncommon injury produced only by severe trauma.
