Abstract

Locked pubic symphysis or overlapping pubic symphysis occurs in traumatic lateral compression of the pelvic ring. The pubic bone is dislocated and overlaps behind the contralateral pubic bone. Neglected cases showed poor long-term outcomes resulting in constant pubic symphysis discomfort during ambulation and dyspareunia. We describe a locked pelvis without any urogenital injury and were reduced with simple manoeuvres.
