Figure

• 

  Figure 1 A 67 year old man was sustained pelvic bone fracture. Enhanced abdominal CT showed extravasation of contrast in right internal iliac artery injury (arrow).

• 

  Figure 2 (A) Wrapping of the pelvis with a sheet is a simple and effective treatment for immediate management of bleeding in patients with an open-book injury. AP radiograph of the pelvis before (B) and after (C) wrapping around the pelvis.

• 

  Figure 3 AP radiograph of the pelvis before (A) and after (B) application of external fixator.

• 

  Figure 4 Fluoroscopic images (A) showing extravasation of contrast (arrow) in a internal iliac artery injury, which is the controlled with angiographic coiling (B).
