title: Pelvic and acetabular trauma.
abstract: Blunt pelvic trauma may lead to disruption of the pelvic ring, acetabular fracture, and significant soft tissue injury. The radiologist must be familiar with not only the imaging approach to these lesions but also the anatomy, biomechanics of injury, and fracture classification to communicate effectively with trauma surgeons and to participate as a member of the trauma team.
