Abstract:
      With the increasing morbidity of fragility fractures of the pelvis due to aging, the disease becomes a rising concern in medical professionals. Low bone density, impairments in activities of daily living, and propensity to fall are the main risk factors of pelvic fractures among the elderly. Considering the characteristics of fragility fractures and its significances in the options of treatments, Rommens and his colleagues developed a comprehensive classification system for fragility fractures of the pelvis. Based on this new classification system, we thereby introduce the progresses in radiological examination and minimally invasive surgical treatment for fragility fractures of the pelvis.
