Pelvic trauma involves traumatic injuries affecting the pelvis and surrounding structures. It can result from road traffic accidents, falls or other high-energy incidents. Injuries may include pelvic or acetabular fractures and can cause significant bleeding or functional impairment.
Cases involving traumatic pelvic injuries can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to the mechanism of injury, diagnosis, imaging, treatment and rehabilitation. Experts may also consider haemorrhage, mobility, functional impairment and long-term outcomes. NICE provides specific recommendations for imaging and managing serious pelvic fractures.
Our trauma and orthopaedic expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, imaging, operative documentation and rehabilitation records. They can also assess the nature and consequences of the injuries.
