Pelvic fractures , particularly when unstable, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality [] and are present in about 9% of patients with major blunt trauma [2, 3].In-hospital mortality of patients with unstable pelvic fractures has been reported to be as high as 8% in the United States []. Pelvic ring injuries can result from low-energy mechanisms in elderly patients ...
