Abstract
External noninvasive compressive devices are becoming popular for emergent stabilization of pelvic ring disruptions. The ease of application utilizing available materials such as sheets, the noninvasive nature of such measures, and perceived absence of complications has made this a popular stabilization modality. The authors report a case of bilateral peroneal nerve palsy related to the use of external compressive wraps in a patient with pelvic ring injury.
