Abstract
Pelvic fractures are life-threatening injuries with mortality as high as 40%. The major cause of death is pelvic exsanguination. Extraperitoneal pelvic packing has been suggested in recent years to be an effective method for hemorrhage control. This article briefly reviews the various aspects related to this procedure with emphasis on history, outcomes, technique and complications.
