Modified illustrations of the pelvis, used in pelvic resection.

  • cassic hemipelvectomy: Iliac, ischium, and pubic bone (and limb) are resected
  • extended hemipelvectomy: Iliac, ischium, and pubic bone (and limb) are resected, as well as part of the ipsilateral sacral ala, extending into the neural foramen
  • type 1 pelvic resection - partial: partial resection of iliac bone
  • type 1 pelvic resection - complete: resection of most of the iliac bone. This may be buttressed with a bone graft or other hardware to provide stability to the pelvic ring
