[Sequela of pelvic fractures (author's transl)]

Different kinds of pelvic fractures with the presumingly most frequent and serious complication of a socket fracture with luxation and the resulting danger of a hip-condyle necrosis are described concisely. Certain problems of therapy resulting from this are partially dealt with. Expert opinions of the accident sequences and the degree of body damage, which has to be assessed, are pointed out. As a progression must be faced in case of a posttraumatic coxarthrosis a re-examination over a longer period (10 years and more) is recommended.
