Abstract

We demonstrate radiological evidence that an external pelvic splint is effective at reducing open book pelvic fractures. Its use in the pre-hospital and emergency department settings should be encouraged in the initial management and resuscitation of patients with pelvic fractures.

  • AP, anteroposterior
  • CT, computed tomography
  • external splintage
  • haemorrhage reduction
  • pelvic fractures
