This document discusses the case of a 40-year old male who presented with injuries from a 15-foot fall, including multiple rib fractures, long bone fractures, and a grade 3-4 liver laceration. He was initially hemodynamically stable. Imaging revealed liver lacerations without arterial or venous extravasation. The patient was managed conservatively in the ICU with monitoring, blood transfusions, and stabilization of vital signs. He improved with conservative management and was discharged in a stable condition. The document also reviews criteria for and success rates of non-operative management of liver trauma.
