Abstract
Pelvic external fixator is used for stabilisation of #pelvicfracture.
Iliac crest placement of pin is commonly used but #supra-acetabular pin
placement is becoming more popular as it can offer more stability,
avoiding irritation to abdominal soft tissue and prevent disruption to
the skin
over #iliaccrest especially if anterior approaches to the sacroiliac
joint are planned for future #surgery. However, there is risk of #hipsepticarthritis
due to proximity of the pin to the hip capsule but cases are rarely
reported. This case report highlights the importance of correct
placement of
pin and the possibilities of hip septic arthritis as a complication of
supra-cetabular pin.
