Background: The cesarean section rate following a pelvic fracture is more than double the standard norms. This results from residual deformity and a lack of knowledge among obstetricians regarding the ability to deliver vaginally after a pelvic fracture. Aim: To present a case of pelvic fracture that delivered vaginally indicating vaginal delivery is possible even after pelvic fractures that are stabilized surgically with minimal or no residual displacement. Case presentation: We present a patient that delivered vaginally following internal fixation of an unstable pelvic fracture with a retained orthopedic implant that spanned the lower abdomen with a metallic bar. We also discuss the role of cesarean section in patients with pelvic fractures. Conclusion: Women with pelvic fractures may possibly deliver vaginally however decision regarding mode of delivery in such patients should be on a case by case basis.
