ABSTRACT
The management of multiple complicated injured patients remains a great challenge despite advance- ments in modern medical care. We present a rare case of bilateral unstable pelvic fractures associated with bilateral segmental femoral shaft fractures.We have proposed a mechanism of such complex injury pattern and discussed the plan of management. We believe that a timely and aggressive surgical intervention to fix all the major fractures soon after medically stabilizing the patient helped our patient to overcome these serious and lethal injuries. It is necessary to establish an optimal protocol for management of such complex fractures by conducting prospective and multicentric studies in the future.
