“…In 2007, Lunsjo et al 16 , published a study of 100 patients with pelvic fractures consecutively admitted to two trauma centers in the United Arab Emirates. In their analysis, the majority (77%) was related to traffic collisions, which is also described in other samples 5,6 . In our study, the most frequent mechanisms of trauma were running overs (39.5%), falls (27.9%) and accidents involving motorcycle drives and passengers (25.6%).…”

“…At least a frontal impact of 50 km / h or a side impact of 40 km / h is needed to compromise the integrity of the pelvic ring 4 . In about 72% of cases fractures occur in compact vehicles, increasingly common in congested urban areas 5,6 . Considering all traumatic fractures, the bones of the pelvis are affected in only 3% of the time 7 .…”

“…In the case of lateral impact, the injury results from impact with another vehicle, or the road. These lesions are more varied (fracture of the iliac wing, fracture with horizontal or vertical instability) [16,17].…”

“…[2][3][4] Historically, these were felt to be stable injuries amenable to nonoperative management with immediate return to weight-bearing as tolerated. 1,[5][6][7][8][9] However, reports of radiographic displacement at follow-up in patients treated nonoperatively 10 led some authors to question if this was truly the best form of treatment for LC-1 fractures and seek new diagnostic modalities for unstable LC-1 fractures that required further intervention. 10,11 Sagi et al 11 recommended the use of stress radiographs within the operating room if there was question of pelvic stability, as occult instability was revealed in 37% of LC-1 injuries in his series with resultant conversion to operative management.…”
