Abstract
Pelvic ring disruption after trauma is uncommon, occurring in 20–37/100,000 people in the general population. However, in high velocity poly trauma up to 20% of cases have this injury contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. The management of pelvic and acetabular trauma has become a subspecialty within the orthopaedic trauma care. The injury patterns are now better understood, there is agreement on a classification system and operative stabilisation has become a viable treatment option.
