Abstract

Adequate radiological analysis of the pelvic ring injury leads to an instability-based treatment concept. The detailed analysis of different regions of the pelvic ring allows for the identification of relevant injuries including bony injuries and pelvic joint involvement. The summary of these analyses results in a basic understanding of the injury mechanism and stability assessment. The basic understanding of CT evaluation is important for the identification of vascular lesions and detailed fracture diagnostics.
