Abstract

High-energy pelvic ring fractures are potentially devastating injuries associated with high morbidity and mortality. The importance of institutional multidisciplinary protocols in the acute setting improves survival and is crucial to a successful management of such patients. The purpose of our chapter is to present practical solutions to enhance quality of care and optimize surgical strategies.
