Abstract
The indications for surgical stabilization of pelvic ring injuries are based on an assessment of the extent of disruption of the pelvic ring and the associated deformity of the bony pelvis. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics or the pelvis, pelvic ring injury classifications, initial assessment, and emergent treatment of patients with pelvic ring injuries is reviewed, and a discussion or indications for surgical stabilization of pelvic ring disruptions is presented.
