Fractures of pelvic ring are the result of high-energy trauma and they can be treated
surgically with external or internal fixation. Traumatic fracture dislocation of S1
vertebra can be stabilised effectively with spinal instrumentation. Combined pelvic
ring disruption with fracture-olisthesis of S1 is reported to be very uncommon and
challenging to treat. We present a patient with such an unstable injury pattern and
the surgical treatment in one stage procedure he underwent.
