A clinical epidemiological study on pelvic fractures reveals that these injuries predominantly affect males, especially young adults. Most cases result from high-energy trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls from height, and are often accompanied by multiple injuries, increasing the risk of shock. Improving trauma response training and public safety awareness can significantly enhance patient outcomes, reducing both disability and mortality rates. According to a study published in the *Chinese Journal of Trauma and Orthopaedics* in April, researchers analyzed data from 223 patients with pelvic fractures admitted between June 2001 and November 2006. The study examined factors such as gender, age, cause of injury, and associated complications. The findings aimed to better understand the epidemiology of pelvic fractures and improve prevention and treatment strategies. The patient group included 137 males and 86 females, resulting in a male-to-female ratio of 1.59:1. The age range was from 3 to 93 years, with the majority (57.4%) aged between 20 and 39. The primary causes of injury were traffic accidents (70%), followed by falls from height (21.15%) and being struck by heavy objects (4.9%). Of the patients, 85 were admitted directly, while 138 were transferred from other facilities. In terms of fracture classification, 109 patients had type A, 53 had type B, and 61 had type C. Nearly 90% of the patients suffered from additional injuries, including long bone fractures, abdominal and perineal trauma, rib fractures, pulmonary contusions, head injuries, and spinal damage. These combined injuries often required care across 20 different departments. Out of the 223 patients, 26 developed shock, 31 underwent pelvic surgery, and three died. This study highlights the severity of pelvic fractures, particularly among young males, and underscores the need for improved emergency care and preventive measures. By enhancing medical training and promoting safety education, healthcare professionals can better manage these complex injuries and reduce their life-altering consequences.
