N2  - The Mersey Region Trauma Survey was performed over 12 months in 1989 and 1990 to study the epidemiology of trauma in a population of 3,200,000. All deaths from injuries, and all survivors with an injury severity score of 15 or over were included, giving a total of 1088 cases. This paper, primarily epidemiological, considers those victims with a pelvic fracture (153 patients), and especially those who reached hospital alive (111 patients). The epidemiology, hospital care and mortality are considered, but the specific management of individual fractures is not.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
