Abstract
Pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) are a leading cause of preventable deaths in trauma patients. A 2007 Australian study 1 found that the incidence of PRFs over a 12-month period was approximately 23/100,000 population with 10/100,000 population incidence of high-energy (HE) PRFs (mostly young males) and 10/ 100,000 population incidence of low-energy (LE) PRFs (mostly older females). The incidence of major bleeding was 1.3 /100,000 population. 60%
