FAST accuracy in major pelvic fractures for decision-making of abdominal exploration: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Major pelvic fractures are often associated with intra-abdominal organ injuries. Considering patients' hemodynamic status, Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) can facilitate decision-making for abdominal exploration. Non-therapeutic exploratory laparotomy from pelvic fractures should be avoided.

Traumatic Blunt Force Renal Injury in a Diseased Horseshoe Kidney with Successful Embolization to Treat Active Bleeding: A Case Report and Literature Review.

When a horseshoe kidney (a rare anomaly: prevalence of 0.2%) is injured, treatment is challenging, especially when nonoperative management is desired.
