Pelvic Trauma

Pelvic trauma refers to injuries sustained to the pelvic region, which includes the bones that form the base of the spine and the sides of the hips. These injuries often result from high-impact events, like car accidents or falls. They can range from fractures of the pelvic bones to more severe injuries affecting nearby organs, blood vessels, or nerves. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, difficulty walking, and sometimes internal bleeding. Proper diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial, as pelvic injuries can lead to serious complications if not managed effectively.
