Introduction: Pubic rami fractures are common fractures in a growing osteoporotic geriatric population. Concomitant posterior ring fractures (cPRF) are often found when properly looked for. The pain and consequent immobilization leaves this vulnerable patient group at risk for complications.
ICD-10-CM Code for Pelvic and perineal pain R10. 2.
The pubic rami are a group of bones that make up part of the pelvis. A pubic ramus fracture is a break in one of these bones. These fractures do not need an operation and will heal with time, analgesia and therapy. They often take about 6-8 weeks to heal.
The pubic symphysis is a joint sandwiched between your left pelvic bone and your right pelvic bone. It helps your pelvis absorb some of the weight from your upper body before it travels to your lower body.
The inferior pubic ramus is a part of the pelvis and is thin and flat. It passes laterally and downward from the medial end of the superior ramus; it becomes narrower as it descends and joins with the inferior ramus of the ischium below the obturator foramen.
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.
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.
Pelvic pain is discomfort in the lower abdomen and is a common complaint. It is considered separately from vaginal pain and from vulvar or perineal pain, which occurs in the external genitals and nearby perineal skin.
Osteitis pubis should be coded to M86. 95 Unspecified osteomyelitis, pelvic region and thigh by following the Index entry for 'osteitis' and selecting a 5th character of 5 for pelvic region and thigh. [Effective 16 April 2014, ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS 8th Ed.]
With a separation or diastasis, the pubic joint dislocates without a fracture. The causes of this separation can be due to the pressure and hormonal changes of pregnancy, trauma from childbirth, falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or horseback riding incidents.
Pubic rami fractures do not require surgery and will heal on their own. The fracture will normally take 6 to 8 weeks to heal, but may take longer depending on the severity. You may experience groin and leg pain. We will monitor your pain and give you pain killing tablets to alleviate this.
With proper care, you can expect full recovery from a stress-related or traumatic pubic ramus fracture. Athletes can usually begin light weight bearing after four to six weeks, and then full weight bearing at two to three months.
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.
