Abstract
Pelvic ring injuries occur at any age. Most injuries to the pelvis are due to high-energy trauma, these injuries are therefore associated with abdominal, thoracic and head injuries.
Unstable disruption of the pelvic ring has been often coupled with massive or life-threatening haemorrhage. The goal of the prehospital management is to keep airway open, start oxygen therapy, fluid replacement therapy and apply appropriate immobilization device.
