[Reconstruction of Lower Extremity Palsy after Pelvic Fractures with the Muscle Transfers].

CONCLUSIONS Irreversible palsy of lower extremity after the pelvic fracture is easily manageable as to the restoration of function. Surgical interventions using the preserved active muscles to restore the lost movement should be a component part of comprehensive surgical care for patients who sustained a pelvic fracture and should be performed centrally at a centre availing of comprehensive expertise. Key words: nerve lesion, tendon transfer, acetabulum, pelvis, fracture.
