A review of the CIREN crash data shows that, while pelvic injuries are not always the most severe injury sustained in a side impact crash, they general rank among the top four. It was also noted that 67% of the pelvic injuries are caused by near-side door or the near-side door armrest. Further studies will include merging the injury-rich CIREN database with the crash-rich NASS database and developing a Population Table for pelvic ring fractures. |
