Abstract
Pelvic fracture in the pregnant patient is a very rare occurrence that has very scant results on a medical literature search. We present a 33-year-old who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time of car accident that along with traumatic rupture of membranes also suffered an open book fracture of the pelvis. Management in coordination with obstetrics as well as the orthopedic team, the patient underwent an external fixation which allowed for induction of labor to deliver the non viable fetus. Once stable after delivery, an internal fixation was done and patient went on to make a full recovery. J Med Cases. 2013;4(4):201-203 doi: https://doi.org/10.4021/jmc1006w
