Abstract
Pelvic fractures are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in emergency, radiologic, surgical, and ICU care that have improved survival during the past decade, the morbidity and the mortality remain significantly high. This article focuses on the recent developments in the initial management of pelvic fractures including the use of external pelvic binders, radiographic imaging, interventional radiology, and extraperitoneal packing.
