Massive haemorrhage due to minimally displaced pubic ramus fracture

George Mouzopoulos et al. Eur J Emerg Med. 2009 Oct.

Abstract

Fractures of the pubic ramus are commonly seen in the emergency room, but they are thought to be minor injuries. Occasionally, these fractures might be associated with massive haemorrhage. Here we report a case of bilateral obturator artery damage due to minimal displaced pubic ramus fracture.
