ABSTRACT

The authors present a case of large gluteal defect developed due to pressure of a giant gluteal hematoma resulted from a pelvic fracture. The defect is reconstructed with a vertical split local gluteus maximus flap. Giant hematoma after a pelvic fracture is an unusual complication and to our knowledge, in the literature this is the first case of a gluteal defect resulting from a hematoma.

Keywords:

Fracture, Hematoma, Gluteal Defect.
