Abstract

Background Pelvic ring fractures type C present a special challenge due to their high instability, the possible accompanying injuries and the high mortality rate of up to 18.9%. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to use the data from the DGU pelvic register to identify changes in the epidemiology and therapy for type C pelvic ring fractures between 2004 and 2014.
