Abstract: Pubic diastasis is a rare but important condition characterized by the separation of the pubic symphysis beyond the normal physiological range, typically more than 10 mm. It can result from traumatic injuries, obstetric complications, or underlying pathological conditions affecting pelvic stability. While commonly associated with high-impact trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents, pubic diastasis can also occur during childbirth due to excessive strain on the pelvic ligaments. This case report presents a rare instance of pubic diastasis, detailing the patient's clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management approach. Through this report, we aim to highlight the importance of early diagnosis, appropriate imaging, and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, ensuring optimal recovery and functional outcome.
