Pelvic ring injuries are high-stakes polytrauma events where understanding haemorrhage control and posterior ring stability saves lives. This comprehensive orthopaedic masterclass covers everything from the initial pelvic binder placement to complex Young-Burgess and Tile classification systems. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:24 Essentials 1:05 Classification 2:13 Bind 2:39 Tile 3:16 Sift 3:48 Algorithm 4:27 Tools 5:19 Definitive 6:07 Complications 6:46 Clinical 1 7:15 Clinical 2 Managing a disrupted osteoligamentous pelvic ring requires a structured, step-wise approach prioritising physiology over perfect imaging. This video delves into the critical algorithms for resuscitation, the BIND and SIFT protocolsand the mechanistic and stability classifications that dictate definitive orthopaedic fixation. We explore how to safely navigate the transition from acute damage control to definitive surgical planning. 🦴 IN THIS VIDEO YOU'LL LEARN • How to apply the BIND protocol for acute pelvic trauma resuscitation • Why pelvic binders must be placed over the greater trochanters, not the iliac crests • How to use the Young-Burgess classification to predict ligamentous injury and bleeding risk • The difference between rotational and vertical instability using the Tile AO framework • When to escalate to preperitoneal packing, mechanical fixationor angioembolisation • How to use the SIFT checklist to interrogate the posterior ring on CT imaging • Why an LC-1 label is insufficient without assessing sacral fracture completeness • How to identify and manage open pelvic fractures and associated genitourinary injuries • The principles of managing fragility fractures of the pelvis in older adults ⏱️ CHAPTERS 📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS ✔️ Physiology first: A non-responder needs immediate haemorrhage control, not a perfect classification. ✔️ The posterior ring dictates overall pelvic stability and must dictate fixation strategy. ✔️ Never repeatedly spring the pelvis; clinical suspicion alone is enough to apply a binder. ✔️ Tile Type C injuries involve combined rotational and vertical instability and require posterior fixation. ✔️ Open pelvic fractures fail early from bleeding and later from sepsis, requiring aggressive damage control. 👩⚕️ WHO THIS IS FOR This masterclass is designed for orthopaedic trainees, medical students, emergency medicine cliniciansand curious patients seeking a deep understanding of severe trauma mechanics and pelvic ring reconstruction. 📚 RELATED TOPICS: Damage control orthopaedics in polytrauma · Sacroiliac joint disruption and fixation · Open book pelvic fractures · Crescent fractures of the iliac wing · Preperitoneal packing technique · Sacral nerve root anatomy and safe screw trajectories 🔗 More free orthopaedic teaching at Orthovellum.com — subscribe for weekly videos. 🎨 CREDITS • Original Orthovellum production. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Educational only — not individual medical advice.
