The sacrum and innominate bones along with many ligamentous complexes, comprise the pelvis. Fractures and ligamentous disruptions of the pelvis suggest that major forces were applied to the patient.

Disruption of the pelvic ring tears the pelvic venous plexus and occasionally disrupts the internal iliac arterial system. (2)

Patients with hemorrhagic shock and unstable pelvic fractures have four potential sources of blood loss:
1.fractured bone surfaces,
2.pelvic venous plexus,
3.pelvic arterial injury,
4.extrapelvic sources. (1)

Conventional hemostatic procedures, such as tamponing, suturing, and cauterization, sometimes do not resolve but just perpetuate the hemorrhage.
Traditional methods for stopping bleeding include pelvic packing and the use of sterile metallic or titanium thumbtacks. Packing has the disadvantage of reoperation for removing the packs and risk of re-bleeding.
Situation in Latvia?
