Haemodynamic instability secondary to minimally displaced pubic rami fractures: a report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report 2 patients with haemodynamic instability secondary to minimally displaced pubic rami fractures following a fall. Both complained of pain and swelling in the abdomen and groin, and had abdominal distension and bruising in the abdomen, groin, and perineum.
