Case Reports[Pubic osteoarthropathy caused by symphyseal instability or chronic painful symphysiolysis: treatment by symphysiodesis. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
The authors describe a case of pubic pain in a 42 year old woman engaged in leisure sporting activity. She had had, 17 years earlier, a difficult delivery. Standard X-Ray showed narrowing of the symphysis pubis. ⋯ The result was most satisfactory. A review of the literature shows ten similar cases. The obstetrical consequences are discussed.
