    AbstractTraumatic injuries of the hip and pelvis are commonly encountered in the emergency department. This article equips all emergency medicine practitioners with the knowledge to expertly diagnose, treat, and disposition these patients.

Pelvic and hip fractures in the elderly are often a result of benign trauma but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
