Popis: Case We present here a case of chronic pelvic separation 22 years after twin natural delivery in a 49-year-old woman surgically treated with anterior and posterior stabilization. The functional and radiological recovery after a 4-year follow-up was extremely good. Conclusion Postpartum pubic symphysis diastasis is a rare but dreaded complication of natural delivery. Nonoperative treatment is still considered the gold standard. However, when pain persists despite nonoperative treatment and when a pelvic radiograph reveals a pubic diastasis greater than 2 cm, surgery is recommended. In the case of low back pain because of sacroiliac joint lesions, posterior fixation is indicated.
