Figure 1:(A) Axial computed tomography (CT) scan (bone windows) at the level of the pubic
symphysis of a 29-yearold man, showing an apparently congruent pubic symphysis (white …

Background Pelvic binders are routinely used in the prehospital setting for stabilization of
pelvic injuries in patients with trauma. Emergency department trauma management relies on …

Vital signs on arrival were heart rate 102 bpm, blood pressure 84/65 mm Hg and Glasgow
Coma Scale (GCS) of 11. He was intubated for decreasing GCS and CT scanned following …

Conclusion: CT scans continue to be an essential tool in the management of trauma,
especially with regards to pelvic injuries. The increased availability and improvements in …

Aims To determine the effectiveness of 'binder-off'plain pelvic radiographs in the assessment
of pelvic ring injuries. Patients and methods All patients requiring operative intervention at …

Pelvic fractures can be associated with significant hemorrhage from iliac arterial branches,
the presacral venous plexus, and a large bulk of cancellous bone, especially if posterior …

OBJECTIVE. Pelvic binders may hinder radiologic assessment of pelvic instability after
trauma, and avulsive injuries can potentially unmask instability in this setting. We compare …

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic sensitivity of computed tomography (CT) in patients
with an unstable pelvic ring injury after application of a pelvic binder. Design: An institutional …

Objective The incidence of pelvic fractures is relatively low compared with other fracture
locations. The low incidence is in great contrast to the high morbidity and mortality …

> DISCUSSION Figure 1 reveals abnormal activity within both sacral ala as well as in the
midline of the sacrum. The pattern is consistent with a sacral insufficiency fracture. Although …
