AB  - Pelvic  fractures  represent  3%  of  all  skeletal  fractures  and  are  exceeded  only  by  skull  fractures  in  their  associated  complications  and  mortality.1  Pelvic  fractures  range  from  low-energy  stable  fractures  to  high-energy  unstable  injuries,  associated  with  abdominal  injuries,  need  for  major  blood  transfusion,  and  even  death.2  The  mortality  rate  for  high-energy  pelvic  fractures  ranges  from  10%  to  20%,  but  in  hemodynamically  unstable  patients  or  after  open  fractures,  it  increases  to  50%.3,4  Motor  vehicle  collisions  account  for  approximately  two-thirds  of  all  pelvic  fractures.  Pedestrians  struck  by  automobiles  are  responsible  for  15%  of  cases.  Crush  injuries,  motorcycle  crashes,  and  falls  each  account  for  an  additional  5%.5
