Management of a Close-Range High-Velocity Gunshot Wound to the Pelvis with Posterior Pelvic Plating: A Case Report.

We present a civilian-inflicted high-velocity pelvic gunshot injury at close range. Although the patient had extensive pelvic bone loss and soft-tissue damage, she had excellent clinical results at 18-month follow-up after delayed posterior sacral bridge plating. Proper soft-tissue management and posterior sacral plating may yield good results for management of this type of injury.
