Short summary
This study consists of 26 patients with infection of the pubic symphysis. The authors believe that by drawing awareness to this condition patients may be diagnosed and undergo surgery faster; 21 of the patients had pelvic surgery before onset of pubic infection. The diagnostic delay was between 1 and 12 months. All patients underwent surgical debridement and received a minimum of 6 weeks antibiotic treatment; 23 patients had postoperative pain relief and 19 patients were ambulant without aids.
