Abstract
Pelvic trauma is associated with high mortality rates. Blunt pelvic injuries from high-energy mechanisms are often associated with pelvic fractures and injuries to the rectum and genitourinary (GU) tract. In addition, due to close anatomic proximity, penetrating pelvic trauma can injure the bony pelvis, rectum, and GU tract concomitantly. As a result, the assessment and management of pelvic trauma requires a multifaceted approach involving orthopedics, trauma surgery and urology.
