| Popis: | The trauma of pelvis is a complex condition that implies injuries of vital organs putting in risk the life of the patient. The traumatic hemipelvectomy is a extremely severe pelvic injury and is fatal almost always, caused generally to events of high energy. It causes traumatic dislocation of the sacroiliac joint and the symphysis pubis, and to the femoral vessels are avulsioned. Because survival rate it is so low it require prompt medical attention. In this pathology type dissabling and prostetic wear is very difficult. In the medical literature there is not report of any patient ho survived this type of lesion under three year's old. We report a case of traumatic hemipelvectomy in a girl of 21 months who survived a traffic accident. |
