Successful internal fixation of a pelvic ring fracture during pregnancy: a multidisciplinary case report.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSevere pelvic trauma during pregnancy is rare and requires concurrent maternal and fetal management. Multidisciplinary coordination is essential, yet reports of definitive pelvic fixation with the fetus in utero are exceptionally uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 28-week pregnant woman with no prior medical history sustained severe injuries (Injury Severity Score: 16) in a high-energy collision. Diagnostic imaging revealed a comminuted, displaced right hip fracture, sacral avulsion fractures, right-sided sacroiliac joint diastasis, and a large pre-sacral pelvic hematoma. Abdominal ultrasound confirmed a viable fetus with no signs of distress and no placental hematomas. The patient was admitted to intensive care unit for preoperative optimization, including fluid resuscitation, transfusion, and pain management. Continuous maternal monitoring and daily fetal assessments were performed. Following multidisciplinary consultations with obstetricians, neonatologists, traumatologists, and intensive care specialists, temporary right lower limb traction was applied, followed by closed reduction and screw osteosynthesis of the iliac bone and sacrum. Surgery was conducted with a perinatal team prepared for emergency cesarean delivery. No intraoperative fetal distress was observed. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient subsequently delivered a healthy male infant at term.
conclusionThis case contributes to the limited body of literature describing successful internal pelvic fixation during pregnancy with fetal retention until term. It illustrates that, with vigilant monitoring and collaborative, protocol-driven management, definitive orthopedic intervention can be planned and performed deliberately while achieving favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
