骨盆帶異常時止痛步態探討：兩病例報告

Abstract

The dysfunction or pathomechanics of sacroiliac joint is a common cause of low back pain. The sacroiliac joints are nonweight bearing joints that function to absorb forces from various directions. Pyogenic infection of the sacroiliac joint resulted in limited hip mobility and pain when the peivis was compressed. The first case was diagnosed as septic arthritis and reported.Infectious processes in the retroperitoneal space often involve the iliopsoas muscle. The infection usually is secondary to other intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic inflammatory processes However they rarely arise primarily within the retroperitoneum. These primary infections occur most often in younger patients and usually will demonstrate a chronic iilness and the diagnosis is often missed. The second case that initially diagnosed as sacroiliac joint disease, but was latter on discovered to be iliopson abacess.
