Of the pelvic ring injuries, APC type III have the highest rate of mortality, blood loss, and need for transfusion. They also have a high rate of urogenital injury and abdominal organ injury. Lateral compression injuries (especially type III) have the highest rate of head injury. Vertical shear and combined injuries also have significant rates of concomitant injuries. The referenced article by Dalal et al is a review of Shock Trauma's pelvic ring injuries; they found significant increases in associated injuries as the grade of pelvic ring injury increased, regardless of mechanism/pattern. The aforementioned information was also found to be true with their patient review.
