abstract="In polytraumatized patients with fracture of the pelvis and injury to the other organs, the clinical picture is dominated by a hypovolemic shock, which is difficult to control. Surgical intervention must be quick in cases of external or internal bleeding. The importance of reaching a quick diagnosis cannot be emphasized enough, upon which the life of the patient is greatly dependent. During the seven year period 23 patients with injury to the pelvis were treated. 10 had injuries to the surrounding organs (brain commotion, injury to the urethra and vagina, as well as the lower extremities). The causes were: automobile accidents (8), falling during play (6), from height (5), during sports (4). Two injured girls are individually described (2 1/2 and 8 years old), who were surgically treated successfully. There was no mortality.<p /><p>Language: hr</p>",
