A diagnosis is often made symptomatically e.g. after pregnancy but imaging is the only way to confirm diastasis of the symphysis pubis. Radiography, like an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), x-ray, CT (computerised tomography) or ultrasound, has been used to confirm the separation of the symphysis pubis.
Pubic symphysis diastasis (PSD) following childbirth via vaginal delivery is a rare but debilitating condition. Widening of the cartilaginous joint during pregnancy before childbirth is physiologic and assists in expanding the birth canal for successful delivery.
The pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint between the left and right superior rami of the pubis of the hip bones. It is in front of and below the urinary bladder.
Traumatic pubic symphysis diastases (PSD) are life-threatening injuries that often require operative fixation. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the outcomes of patients following various operative fixation techniques of these particular pelvic ring injuries.
The pubic symphysis is a secondary cartilaginous joint, which means there is a wedge-shaped fibrocartilaginous interpubic disc situated between two layers of hyaline cartilage, which line the oval-shaped medial articular surfaces of the pubic bones 1,2.
Postpartum pubic symphysis diastasis (PPSD) is defined as separation of the pubic symphysis without a fracture after delivery. Although it is an uncommon peripartum complication, it can lead to various problems such as pain, difficulty in ambulation, and urinary dysfunction.
(2) A symphysis consists of a compressable fibrocartilaginous pad that connects two bones. This type of joint allows for some movement. The hip bones, connected by the pubic symphysis, and the vertebrae, connected by intervertebral discs, are two examples of symphyses.
The pubic symphysis is a slightly mobile (amphiarthrosis) cartilaginous joint, where the pubic portions of the right and left hip bones are united by fibrocartilage, thus forming a symphysis.
symphysis A joint that is only slightly movable; examples are the joints between the vertebrae of the vertebral column and that between the two pubic bones in the pelvic girdle.
The pubic symphysis is a joint that sits centered between your pubic bones, right above your vulva. When you're pregnant, the ligaments around this joint become more elastic and flexible, so that your baby can pass through during delivery.
Ligaments hold the joint in place so that your pelvic bones aren't able to move or shift past the point of comfort. During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes, these ligaments loosen, so that the joint becomes flexible enough for your pelvic bones to widen during delivery.
Standard treatment of pubic symphysis separation is conservative: bedrest in the side position, pelvic support with a brace or girdle, walking with a walker or crutches, and a graded exercise protocol. Safe options for analgesia antepartum are more limited than after delivery.
As the pelvic bones loosen during pregnancy, the pubic symphysis can temporarily separate. This is not a dangerous condition. But it can be painful. You can feel the pubic symphysis by pressing on your lower front pelvic bone, just above your genital area.
Although SPD can be painful for you, the good news is that there are ways to ease the pelvic pain, and the pain or discomfort usually reduces or goes away completely after your baby is born.

ICD Code S33.4 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'traumatic rupture of symphysis pubis' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:
The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier. T67.4XXA Initial Encounter or T67.4XXD Subsequent Encounter. More Info
