• Sacroiliac joint dislocations
• Fractures of the ilium, even

Anterior to pubic symphysis i

The surgical approach to the anterior part of the pelvic ring is useful for:

• Pubic symphysis disruption/diastasis
• Fractures of the anterior pelvic ring including superior pubic rami

Modified stoppa approach i

This approach to the anterior intrapelvic region allows visualization of:

• The entire symphysis
• Both pubic bodies
• The complete superior pubic ramus
