Electroneuromyographic criteria for neurological disorder estimation in patients with pelvic bone fractures

Abstract

Electroneuromyographic (ENMG) changes at the level of lumbosacral plexus were studied in patients with pelvic girdle injuries of different severity degree. Objective critera of such disorders are proposed by ENMG data on the basis of studying foot muscles, peripheral nerves and radicular responses at the level of L4-S2 segments. According to the data obtained for vertical instable fractures of pelvic bones the disorders at the level of lumbosacral plexus were registered in 100 % cases. ENMG was compared with the results of clinical neurological examination of lower limb locomotor activity in patients with pelvic trauma.
