Abstract

We present a case of a widely displaced double-column acetabular fracture associated with lacerations of the ipsilateral common iliac artery and vein, resulting in a fatal hemorrhage. This case illustrates the importance of considering the possibility of a concomitant vascular injury in the assessment of a patient with an acetabular fracture and otherwise unexplained hemorrhage.
