Abstract
Fractures of iliac wing are rare. One of the first descriptions of isolated iliac wing fracture was reported by Duverney in 1751. Actually, iliac wing fractures are classified by AO/OTA system as type A1 and A2. A1 fractures definite avulsions fractures. A2 fractures definite lesions extending through the iliac wing. These fractures do not compromise the stability of the pelvic ring. They remain stable to vertical forces because sacro-spinous and sacro-tuberous ligaments remain intact. The patient may be at risk for hemorrhage from the internal iliac arterial system.
