Traumatic hemipelvectomy is a rare and well described level of amputation. The recent increase in the number of motorcycle traffic accidents has contributed to the growth of the hindquarter amputations. Victims are usually young men without previous diseases. Multiple injuries are expected and lead to physical and psychosocial disabilities, destruction of self-image and loss of independence on activities of daily living (ADL). Early rehabilitation program ables the patient to prevent deformities and to recovering functional abilities. Prosthesis prescription has great value to improve physical conditions. In this report, we present a case of a traumatic hemipelvectomy that happened to a female patient who completely restored independence for ADL and gained quality of life after rehabilitation program. Prosthesis represent a possibility of functional recovery for the amputee although such equipments cannot replace the lost limb during all activities.
