ABSTRACT
Traumatic pelvic ring injuries continue to represent a major challenge due to the high rates of post-injury mortality of around 30-40% in the peer-reviewed literature. The main root cause of potentially preventable mortality relates to the delayed recognition of the extent of retroperitoneal hemorrhage and post-injury coagulopathy. The understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of pelvic trauma is predicated by classification systems for grading of injury mechanism and risk stratification for developing post-injury coagulopathy with subsequent uncontrolled exsanguinating hemorrhage. This review article elaborates on the current understanding of the pathophysiology of severe pelvic trauma with a focus on the underlying mechanisms of retroperitoneal bleeding and associated adverse outcomes.
