Expected outcomes after pelvic ring injury.
Pelvic ring injuries are a result of high-energy trauma and are often associated with nonskeletal injuries. Although malunions and nonunions are rare with the use of current techniques of reduction and fixation, outcome studies show that these injuries have long-lasting effects. Associated urologic and neurologic injuries are commonly the determinants of outcome.
