title: Irreducible sacroiliac dislocation of the pelvic ring with caudal displacement. A case report.
abstract: An irreducible sacroiliac dislocation of the pelvic ring with resultant caudal displacement of the injured hemipelvis occurred in a 15-year-old female. Because of interposed soft tissue and bone, closed reduction was not possible. Early open reduction through a posterior approach and internal fixation resulted in a painless pelvis. Sacral root avulsion resulted in permanent neurologic deficit that has been successfully managed with an orthosis.
