Superior and inferior pubic ramus fracture. Unstable fracture. In this type of fracture, there are usually two or more breaks in the pelvic ring and the ends of the broken bones do not line up correctly (displacement). This type of fracture is more likely to occur due to a high-energy event.
The pubic rami are a group of bones that make up a portion of the pelvis. A pubic ramus fracture is a break in one of these bones. Please note that there is no difference between a fracture and a break. Iliac bone. Coccyx.

The pubis itself is made up of two smaller bones: the superior ramus and the inferior ramus. These two rami, located at the front of each side of the pelvis, are what we refer to as our “pubic bones.”
The superior pubic ramus is the upper of the two rami. It forms the upper edge of the obturator foramen. It extends from the body to the median plane where it joins with the ramus of the opposite side. It consists of an inner flattened part and a narrow outer prismoid portion.
The superior pubic ramus is one third of the pubic bone. It forms a portion of the obturator foramen and extends from the body to the median plane where it articulates with its counterpart from the opposite side. It is described in two portions, which are a medial flattened part and a narrow lateral prismoid portion.

The inferior pubic ramus (plural: inferior pubic rami) is part of the pubis. It forms the border of the urogenital region of the pelvic outlet, running between the pubic tubercle and ischial tuberosity.
The most common pelvic fracture identified by plain X-ray is that of the pubic rami. PFF are painful and despite optimal analgesia, many of these patients struggle to mobilise.
The anterior and inferior part of the hip bone is the pubis or pubic bone. This bone is the smallest component of the hip bone. It is divided into three main parts: body, superior ramus, and inferior ramus.
Conclusion. Pubic ramus fractures without involvement of the posterior pelvis (FFP Type I) are serious adverse events for elderly persons. During follow-up, there is an excess mortality, a loss of independence, a restricted mobility, and a decreased quality of life.
With a broken pelvis you cannot walk, sit or move well without pain. The pelvis protects the bladder, intestines and many important blood vessels. Many of the important leg muscles and abdominal muscles attach to the pelvis and allow for body motion and function.
Healing can take eight to 12 weeks. Severe injuries to the pelvis that involve several breaks can be life-threatening. Shock, extensive internal bleeding and internal organs damage may be involved. The immediate goal is to control bleeding and stabilize the injured person's condition.
Mild and stable pelvic fractures can usually heal without medical intervention such as surgery. However, if you have a mild pelvic fracture, you must limit the amount of pressure you put on your pelvis and legs and get enough rest so your fracture can heal properly.
