Question about obgyn specialty

Just wondering, do obgyn specialists get involved in pelvic trauma cases or are those purely managed by the orthopaedic surgeons?

In the UK, we don't really call them "obgyns," but that's just me being a pedant.

I have never heard of any hospital where an O&G doctor is on the trauma team, as in the team which meets a trauma patient as they're admitted to hospital. They may, however, have a role in theatre later on if there has been injury to the reproductive organs, and would obviously have to get involved early if the patient was pregnant. I would imagine this is not very frequent though.
