Abstract

Treatment of high-energy trauma of the lumbosacral region is a challenging entity for clinicians. They are complex and often associated with other injuries such as active bleeding and substantial soft tissue injuries. Therefore, good wound healing is reliant on multiple local and systemic factors. Only a multidisciplinary approach between the trauma team and subspecialists will dictate the most appropriate management for these patients, and recent data has shown that best outcomes are obtained when these lesions are cared for at level 1 trauma centers. We present a case of complex major trauma involving rachis, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and lower limbs.
