An 11 yr old boy was hit by a van and thrown 4 meters away hitting his right side. The only physical signs of trauma were multiple abrasions on the face and right shoulder and a contusion-hematoma ( bruise) on the right flank. On xray, there was fracture on the right ramus of the pelvis similar to this xray picture from the Department of Health Gov of Australia
Sorry, guys, I forgot to upload the xrays of this boy. But, this is just to show how trauma may affect everything in a human person's body. The trauma was on the right but the fracture was found on the left rami of the pelvis. I could not find any reason why.
The moral lesson is, if your doctor examining you suspects something, urge him to suspect everything.
