Acute Bowel Entrapment and Perforation Following Operative Reduction of Pelvic Fracture

Abstract
The potential for multiple organ system injury with pelvic fracture is well known. This reports illustrate a case whereby medially displaced acetabular fragment had become adherent to small bowel. Delayed posterior pelvic open reduction caused entrapment of this bowel within the fracture site followed by acute obstruction and perforation.
