Abstract
The evaluation of complications associated with the management of pelvic fractures is problematic because i tis difficult to distinguish which of them have been caaused by pelvic ring fractures and associated injuries and which are due to surgical treatment. Although most complications most arise from injury, the increasing role of surgery in their treatment leads to a higher rate of iatrogenic complications most frequently resulting from an improper surgical technique, including fracture reduction and fixaction.
