Abstract
Pelvic injuries are an important consideration in trauma patients. This is largely as a result of the major disruptive forces required to fracture the pelvic ring, and the resulting complications that can be expected from major pelvic ring disruption. These can be both immediate (associated visceral injury, hemorrhage, etc.) or delayed (infection, morbidity, etc.), but to a large extent can be anticipated by knowledge of the type of injury force producing the fracture, and specific complications associated with each force of injury. This article will examine pelvic injuries from a mechanistic approach, determining the specific pelvic fracture patterns that are encountered, how they may be imaged best, and what types of complication might be expected.
