Pelvic ring injuries

University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham, UK

Pelvic ring injuries exhibit a wide spectrum of severity; at times devastating with potentially serious immediate and long-term consequences. The anatomical and mechanistic basis of the injured pelvis is described. The non-operative and surgical management of pelvic ring disruption in the acute and definitive care settings is discussed. As emphasized here, basic principles, the mechanism of injury and pattern of instability help guide management.

Key Words: diagnosis • fracture • mechanism • pelvis • surgery
