چکیده
Patients with traumatic pelvic ring injury may represent an immense challenge for the emergency physician. First, patients with pelvic ring fractures are at risk for exsanguinating pelvic hemorrhage. Furthermore, the profound magnitude of force required to disrupt the pelvic ring frequently causes severe injuries to other organ systems.
