Pelvic malunion, pubic symphysis diastasis and subluxation - what should be done?

Patient's question:

Problem Description: The patient was involved in a car accident, resulting in pelvic fractures, pubic symphysis separation, and severe trauma. Current condition of the patient: The car accident occurred on October 9, 2008. Currently, the external trauma has largely healed. However, due to the severity of the trauma at the time, the pelvic fractures were never treated. As a result, some pelvic deformities have developed, and the pubic symphysis is misaligned. However, the patient has no problems walking, although the pubic bone is stuck in the perineal area, causing persistent pain in the lower body and accompanied by symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency. The question is whether the patient's pubic bone can (reposition) on its own. If not, is surgical treatment possible now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: This is not a big problem. I suggest you go to a regular hospital to see a doctor, and you will be fine. Wish you a speedy recovery....
