    AbstractA 36-year-old motorcyclist sustained multiple severe injuries in a motorcycle accident. The leading injury was a type B open-book pelvic fracture, resulting in a relevant haemodynamic instability. Due to an initial misplacement of the pelvic binder (Samsling®) by the paramedics in the field, a sufficient compression of the fracture and stabilisation of the haemodynamic situation could not be obtained. After repositioning of the pelvic binder in the emergency room, the pelvis was adequately stabilised, leading to a transient stabilisation of the haemorrhagic shock. This example illustrates the benefit of a simple and effective tool for the initial stabilisation of pelvic fractures in haemodynamically compromised patients and in particular the importance of the correct placement of the pelvic binder.Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
