    AbstractThe internal fixation of pelvic ring fractures and dislocations has become more popular recently. Aggressive resuscitation of the injured patient includes pelvic stabilization and improves survival rates. Pelvic surgical exposures as well as the skeletal anatomy become more familiar as the orthopaedic surgeon gains experience in treating these difficult patients. Recent radiographic techniques for pelvic imaging facilitate comprehensive preoperative planning and intraoperative decision-making for pelvic injuries. Improved outcomes are expected as treatment is individualized for each patient.
