Abstract
Pelvic ring fractures are serious injuries. They encompass a wide variety of lesions, differing in their mechanisms, anatomical presentations, therapeutic implications, and prognoses. These injuries are most often found in young male patients who are victims of road traffic accidents; this is not the case for our patients. The management of these injuries is a medical and surgical emergency, as they involve not only bone damage but also serious visceral injuries that threaten the patient's life. In this study, we report five cases of pelvic trauma in young women who fell from a height.
