Pelvic Fracture treatment in Acapulco

When a high-energy trauma occurs, such as a major fall or an accident, a pelvic fracture may result. This is a break in one or more of the bones that form the pelvic ring, the bony structure that supports the lower part of the trunk.

Common symptoms: Intense pain in the hip or groin, difficulty or inability to walk or bear weight, and swelling or bruising in the area.

Why seek care: Because important blood vessels and organs pass through this region, an injury of this type warrants timely evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? Its management falls to the orthopedist, with frequent involvement of the emergency physician and the physical therapist during recovery. If you suspect an injury of this type after a blow, the prudent thing to do is seek an evaluation without delay.
