Fractures to the pelvic ring can be devastating injuries. Patients with these injuries used to be doomed for a lifetime of pain and disability -- if they survived. The Orthopaedic Fracture and Trauma surgeons at Harborview Medical Center have been at the forefront of advancing care of these injuries with minimally invasive fixation techniques and application of logical treatment algorithms. Dr. M.L."Chip" Routt, Professor and Chief of the Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture service at HMC presents the experiences of his service in percutaneous care of these injuries.
