Summary
Introduction:
The authors report a case of a 65-year old man who suffered right acetabular fracture with bleeding from a superior gluteal artery branch after fall from bicycle. Bleeding was diagnosed with CT-angiography done because of circulatory instability. Selective embolization was used to stop bleeding because of complicated surgical access to the bleeding artery. Embolization is the method of choice to stop bleeding from the superior gluteal artery since it is minimally invasive with high success rate.
Conclusion:
Unlike fractures of the sacrum, dangerous bleeding is relatively rarely associated with fractures oft he acetabulum, yet we still need to keep it in mind if hemodynamic instability of the patient is present.
Key words:
Acetabular fracture, angiography, selective embolization.
