Estudo epidemiológico das fraturas e lesões do anel pélvico

Pelvic ring fractures and injuries are more often verified among males. In general and among younger individuals, traffic accidents are the most common cause of the injury, while among the elderly, ordinary falls are the most commonly verified cause. The majority of those injuries are suffered in urban areas. Type A fractures are more frequent. The majority of cases do not require emergency intervention nor do they feature associated injuries. Non‐invasive treatment is most common and death outcomes are associated to high‐energy traumas with severe injuries.
