Diagnosis

Hides the diagnosis, imaging findings, outcome, take-home points and correlation photos so you can read the images blind.

Multiple pelvic fractures

Confirmed

Imaging findings

There is a complete fracture through the left ischial table. A second complete fracture is present through the left pubic bone. A third fracture involves the left ilium, slightly cranial to the acetabulum, with mild overriding of fracture margins.

Key take-home points

The pelvis is a rigid box, not a single bone. One fracture almost always means a second (or third), so a "solitary" pelvic fracture should prompt a careful look for a companion fracture or sacroiliac luxation before you call the study complete.
