The analysis of treatment results obtained in the casualties with pelvic unstable injuries shoes high frequency (up to 24.4%) of unsatisfactory results among which not eliminate deformations of pelvic ring (14.3%), disordered walk (20.4%) and painful syndrome (18.8%) prevailed. In the structure of treatment measures during the local armed conflicts in Afghan and Chechnyathe conservative methods of hipbone immobilization (and even in the cases of pelvic unstable injuries) prevailed.
