ABSTRACT
Pelvic fractures are complex injuries that occur as a result of high-energy trauma and can have severe consequences. This review provides an overview of the classification, management, and surgical approaches for pelvic fractures. The Tile and Young-Burgess classification systems are commonly used to classify pelvic fractures based on the stability and severity of the injury. Management strategies include both non-operative and operative methods, depending on the stability of the fracture. Surgical approaches such as open reduction and internal fixation or external fixation may be used to stabilize the pelvis. The choice of approach is determined by factors such as fracture pattern and patient characteristics. Overall, effective management of pelvic fractures requires a multidisciplinary approach involving orthopedic surgeons, trauma specialists, and other medical professionals to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
