Year: 2025

Abstract: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity among young adults. Pelvic fractures seen in road traffic accidents are often associated with other bony and soft tissue injuries of the pelvis. Various classifications of pelvic injuries decide the management. Isolated fractures of the acetabulum, femur, and sacrum can occur and their management depends on the severity of injuries. The pelvis hosts important soft tissue organs such as the urinary bladder, urethra, vessels, bowel, and reproductive organs which are at risk of injury along with pelvic trauma. The knowledge of common soft tissue injury patterns and their management is crucial for the referral of the patient to a higher center. Low-energy trauma like falls or minor accidents can cause isolated bony fractures.
