    Author: Borens O, Fischer JF, Bettschart V, Mouhsine E.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2002 Dec; 68(5):542-5. PubMed ID: 12584987.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic hernia of the abdominal wall is a rare and easily missed injury in the presence of major pelvic and abdominal lesions. We present a radiographically documented case of combined pelvic and acetabular fracture with a major contralateral traumatic hernia with avulsion of the internal oblique, the external oblique and the transverse abdominal muscles diagnosed four months after the initial trauma. To our knowledge no similar case has been described in the current literature.
