The estimated annual incidence of pelvic injury is about 23 per 100,000 people, with a substantial mortality and morbidity burden.Because the pelvis is so close to important blood vessels and organs, shearing of the vasculature can induce life-threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage, as well as bleeding from broken bone ends, which necessitates immediate care.
