The pelvic bone fractures have studied by rsany authors. We´ have experienced difficutties in managing the pelvic bone fractures because most of them were associated with other bone fractures or soft tissue injuries.
1. 44 patients out of 102 were in age group between,20 to 39. Male and female ratio was 1.1:1.
2. The cause of the pelvic bogie fractures were mostly due to automobile accident (82.4%), .fall from a height (10.8%), direct blow (5.9%) and miscellaneous (1%).
3. The pelvic bone fractures were classified into avulsion fractures (2 cases), stable fractures (65 cases), and Unstable fractures (35 cases) by the mode of force.
4. About 90% of the pelvic bone fractures were complicated by other bone fractures (52.9%) and soft tissue injuries (50.0%) .
5. The residual corfiplications at the end of treatment remained in some cases; urethral stricture, impotence, low back pain, arthritis of sacroiliac joint, :narrowing of the birth_ canal, paralysis of the sciatic nerve, phlebothrombosis, fistula and malunion etc.
