Traumatic hemipelvectomy.
This is a report of a patient who sustained a traumatic avulsion of the hemipelvis and survived this catastrophic challenge.

Early involvement of the plastic surgical team offers a coordinating influence that can provide the maximum of efficiency for early care and subsequent reconstruction.
