Blunt pelvic trauma.
Blunt pelvic trauma results in significant morbidity and mortality from associated genitourinary, neurological, vascular, and visceral damage. Diagnosis begins in the ED with the initial trauma evaluation. Proper treatment using a multidisciplinary approach and cooperation between orthopedist, urologist, trauma surgeon, and emergency physician should minimize complications.
