Pubic separation usually occurs and with effective treatment, its normal anatomy and function can be restored. If not diagnosed or treated promptly, chronic inflammation of the pelvis may result in chronic pain in the anterior pelvic region, inability to bear weight on the lower limbs and weakness in walking. In addition, disruption of the stability and integrity of the pelvic structure can lead to uterine prolapse, vaginal laxity, urinary incontinence and changes in body shape.
