Figure 21 is the radiograph of a 45-year-old woman who was severely injured in a motorcycle crash. Her injuries include a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, bilateral pneumothoraces with pulmonary contusions and flail chest, fracture-dislocation of the left hip, and open fractures of the right distal femur and proximal tibia. Antibiotics and tetanus are administered in the emergency department. The patient is intubated and bilateral chest tubes are placed. A closed reduction is performed on the left hip.
