Abstract
Osteitis pubis (OP) is a rare, inflammatory disorder that affects the pubic bone, symphysis, and adjacent structures. OP is reported after urological and gynecological surgeries and documented in athletes. OP is a self-limiting condition, but sometimes symptoms may persist for a long time. Conservative modalities are generally able to treat OP. Here we report a patient treated with a steroid injection under fluoroscopy guidance. A 63-year-old male patient developed pelvic pain after prostate surgery, and the pain was intractable to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. He underwent a steroid injection under fluoroscopy, and his pain affecting daily living activities and walking was eased for three months.
