Abstract

The management of pelvic fractures and hip injuries requires a multidisciplinary approach and begins in the prehospital setting. With the current advances in various investigative modalities along with the use of algorithms, the morbidity and mortality from these injuries has improved. This review discusses an outline of the current recommendations along with treatment strategies and options in the emergency department, which may vary from institution to institution based on the availability of expertise and resources and because no two trauma patients are alike with regard to the pathophysiology and injury patterns.
