Abstract

With increasing life expectancy, fragility fractures of the pelvic ring (FFP) are becoming frequent. In elderly, osteoporosis leads to a decrease of bone strength and resistance to the ligament's traction; this represents the most important difference between FFP and fractures in young patients. Usually, these fractures are underestimated and treatment is often conservative.
