Abstract
Pelvis is made of several bones like sacrum, ilium, ischium, and pubis. These bones are connected altogether by various ligaments and forming a ring. It requires a high-energy trauma to break this ring. Fracture in one part of the ring can be associated with fracture in another part of the ring.
