Massive haemorrhage due to minimally displaced pubic ramus fracture.

Fractures of the pubic ramus are commonly seen in the emergency room, but they are thought to be minor injuries. Occasionally, these fractures might be associated with massive haemorrhage. Here we report a case of bilateral obturator artery damage due to minimal displaced pubic ramus fracture.

Occult acetabulum fracture. A case report.

Acetabular fractures that are radiographically occult are associated with insufficiency fractures, stress fractures, and fractures secondary to steroid-induced osteoporosis, usually affecting older patients after low-energy trauma. Occult acetabulum fractures in young patients are extremely rare. We discuss herein a case of an occult acetabulum fracture after high-energy trauma, in a young patient.
