High-energy pelvic fractures in trauma patients are a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The initial care of patients with displaced pelvic fractures and hemodynamic continues to evolve. This symposium seeks to debate major aspects of care, including resuscitation, fracture stability, and hemorrhagic control.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Summarize the current state of the management of patients with unstable pelvic fractures and hemodynamic instability.
  • Debate specific controversies surrounding aspects of care for pelvic injuries and hemodynamic instability, including resuscitation, fracture stability, and hemorrhagic control.
  • Review the effects of future directions in the management of these injuries, including development of acceptable international standards for care and new technologies.
