Pelvis
Keyword(s):
The pelvis is a complex area of anatomy, and fractures to it may be stable or unstable, depending on the location and nature of the injury. Lower-energy trauma may result in avulsion fractures and stable injuries that can be treated conservatively. High-energy trauma to the pelvis can result in unstable combinations of primary and contrecoup fractures. Such injuries are medical emergencies and will require surgical fixation. This chapter provides an overview of orthopaedic surgical procedures of the pelvis. The discussion includes images that demonstrate the position of the C-arm, patient, and surgical equipment, with accompanying radiographs demonstrating the resulting images.
