We report a case of pubic diastasis in a young adult, with no associated complications. The patient was surgically managed by open reduction and internal fixation of the pubic symphysis with a superior plate. It was done to immediately mobilise the patient in non–weight bearing, and to prevent post immobilisation morbidities especially in young adults. With the diastasis being larger than 2 cm, spontaneous healing was not likely to occur. In these cases, surgical interventions are indicated[6]
