Abstract

Because of the ageing crisis in western world the fragility fractures of the pelvic ring joint the big four group of typical fractures in osteoporotic elderly patients: fractures of the proximal femur, fractures of the proximal humerus, fractures of the distal radius and thoracic and lumbar low energy spinal fractures. All these fractures are the result of low energy with the typical fall of the patient from the standing height. The Slovenian recommendations include Rommens classification for non-displaced and displaced fractures of the anterial and posterial pelvic ring with the operative indications. The recommendations were launched at the Slovenian society of trauma surgeons meeting in November 7th, 2015.
