Summary
A very wide variety of fractures can occur in the pelvic region ranging from very simple fractures that require symptomatic treatment only to life-threatening injuries affecting vital organs. The bone itself heals well so the main thrusts of treatment are to manage the pain, to restore stability to the pelvis ring during healing and to make sure the hip socket has no irregularities.
