Pelvic fractures are associated with a high mortality and morbidity. Injuries to the bladder and urethra are relatively common whereas bowel trauma is rare. We present a case of acetabular fracture associated with bowel herniation in a 33 year old female who was involved in a road traffic collision. The patient was in severe pain from her acetabular fracture which made diagnosis more difficult due to this distracting injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
