Info

Diastasis of the pubic symphysis is seen (approximately 1.5 cm). No other fracture is seen.
Case Discussion
Widening of the pubic symphysis without concomitant fracture constitutes pubic diastasis. A width of >10 mm is considered diagnostic. Involvement of the sacroiliac joints must be assessed.
