[Pelvic trauma].
Pelvic trauma A great variety of very polymorphous lesions of pelvic trauma are deffering from each other by their context, their anatomical aspect and therapeutic implication. In the isolated acetabular fractures, function is mainly at stake. The management consists mainly of re-establishing a joint congruence to prevent early coxarthrosis. Pelvic fractures often occur in violent trauma and are associated with visceral lesions, putting vital prognosis at stake. In case of hemodynamic shock, external fracture stabilization when it is indicated associated to embolisation of pelvic bleeding if necessary and after external fixation are preponderant.
