Abstract

This is a report of a patient who sustained a traumatic avulsion of the hemipelvis and survived this catastrophic challenge. Survival of the patient is dependent on multiple factors of associated injuries, early management, and general health of the patient. Early involvement of the plastic surgical team offers a coordinating influence that can provide the maximum of efficiency for early care and subsequent reconstruction.
