External Fixator as a Viable Treatment Option for Combined Pelvic Ring and Sacrum Fracture in a Pregnant Patient: A Case Report

We report a case of a ۳۲-year-old pregnant woman who suffered a combined type pelvic fracture and medial malleolus fracture due to a car accident at ۲۴ weeks and ۲ days of gestation. She underwent external fixation of the pelvic ring and percutaneous screw fixation of the ankle fracture. She recovered well and delivered a healthy baby by cesarean section at ۳۷ weeks and ۱-day gestation. External fixation can be a definitive treatment option for some pelvic fractures with anterior instability in pregnant patients, as it reduces the risk of fetal harm. Level of evidence: IV
