Abstract
We report a case of right ureter injury in an 11-year-old girl after a percutaneous iliosacral screwing with non-computer-assisted fluoroscopic guidance. The indication was a pelvic ring fracture, C1-1 in the Tile modified AO classification (J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 1996;4:143-151). The mechanism was a ski accident. A percutaneous iliosacral screwing was performed to stabilize the right iliac wing fracture. Twelve days after the initial trauma, a right ureter tear was highlighted, just opposite the fourth lumbar vertebra. Uneventful spontaneous healing of the ureteral injury site occurred following double J-stent catheterization. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
