Traumatic hemipelvectomy survivors are rare, young, and often have severe associated injuries. Management focuses on reconstruction, with gluteus myocutaneous flap reconstruction showing promise.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic hemipelvectomy is a rare and severe injury.
  • Few patients survive to reach the hospital.

Observation:

  • 19 reported survivors (17 males, 2 females) aged 10-34.
  • All survivors had severe associated injuries.
  • Mechanisms include vehicle and heavy machinery accidents; a new case involved a motorboat propeller.

Findings:

  • Survivors frequently experience postoperative complications.
  • Case reports detail management strategies for traumatic hemipelvectomy.
  • Gluteus myocutaneous flap reconstruction is discussed as a beneficial option.

Implications:

  • Understanding rare traumatic injuries is crucial for trauma centers.
  • Effective reconstructive techniques can improve outcomes for severe pelvic injuries.
  • Further research into managing traumatic hemipelvectomy is warranted.
