Clinical Vignette:
A 29-year-old woman with no medical history presented after being a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. She sustained an APC2 pelvic ring injury, a closed olecranon fracture, and a closed proximal tibia fracture ( Fig. 1 ). Clinical evaluation is notable for significant edema and early serous fracture blister formation overlying the proximal tibia fracture. The patient is neurovascularly intact. Imaging of the tibia demonstrates an extra-articular proximal tibia fracture. The patient underwent application of anterior pelvic external fixation and knee spanning external fixator within 24 hours of arrival.
