Abstract Pelvic fractures have been known to occur in 4% - 9.3% of patients with blunt trauma (1,2). Rhese fractures should be cobsidered a marker of severe injury and are often associated with significant injuries to the abdominal and pelvic organs. The reported prevalence of associated organ injuries ranges from 11% to 20.3%. Pelvic fractures have long been associated with significant mortality, which ranges from 506% to 15% (3,4,5,6,7) recent studies, by well-organized trauma centers, have shown that the mortality rate is still high in patients who have hypotension attributable to pelvic fractures. The reported mortalty rate for pelvic fracture patients with hemorrhagic shock ranges from 36.4% to 54%(7,8). |
