The aim of our study was to compare our results using a Spacer-G with previous results reported in the literature. From June 2002 to April 2010, all patients treated with a two-stage revision were retrospectively reviewed. On the basis of the results of the first-stage procedure, 52 patients underwent the second stage, six developed a dislocation, in eight the spacer was maintained, and five patients developed an acute infection of the spacer or the infection was not resolved. With regard to the second-stage procedure the revision was successful in 44 patients, a re-infection developed in four patients and the definitive prosthesis presented a mechanical complication in four more. The literature results reported that 97.5% of the spacers were reimplanted, although 12.09% of them developed a dislocation. Surgeons must assess several aspects so as to avoid mechanical complications like dislocation and re- infections during the two stages of the procedure.The aim of this study was to review the incidence, management and outcome of isolated iliac wing fractures and to compare them with other type A, B and C fractures. From 2004 to 2015, the data of 547 patient with a pelvic fracture regarding age, gender, RTS, ISS, treatment, complications and mortality were analyzed and a comparison was made between iliac wing fractures and the other pelvic fractures. We encountered 30 isolated iliac wing fractures. The ISS, shock class, transfusion rate, complications and mortality were comparable to those of patients with an unstable pelvic fracture. Concomitant injuries were observed in 93% of the patients. None of the fractures were operatively stabilized. Isolated iliac wing fractures are rare, and operative stabilization of the fracture itself is often not necessary. However, these fractures are serious injuries with characteristics resembling those o
