Excessive loss of blood, related systemic problems and additional injuries about the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems increase mortality of this severe sort of injury. A young, male farmer injured violently by an agricultural heavy machine; a survivor of traumatic hemipelvectomy is described in this case report.
