Abstract
A patient with pelvic injury, especially if the injury is part of multiple trauma, must be initially treated in accordance with the principles of Advanced Trauma Life Support(R). The authors define the indications of procedures corresponding to damage control surgery with regard to pelvic injury, and also to the timing of and performing the individual internal fixation techniques in pelvic fracture.
A multidisciplinary approach with the individual treatment procedures reflecting the general condition of the injured patient is a key to favourable outcome.
