The Pelvis

Tile's classification is one of the most used and classifies fractures into three main types (from A1 to C3). Pelvic ring fractures can be classified into three types, using the Tile classification, based on their severity.

Pelvic ring fractures can be classified into three types, using the Tile classification (for subtypes and other classifications see Further reading), based on the severity of the fracture (and reflecting the energy required to cause it) (Figure27.11). However, no fracture pattern can exclude significant haemorrhage.

At first glance both classifications appear daunting. Use the Young and Burgess first. In many cases the mechanism of action is given in the history and one can predict the type of fracture pattern seen. Then use the Tile classification to decide whether the injury is stable or not.

One of the main factors that determine PRF severity and treatment is the degree of instability. Instability emerges as a consequence of pelvic ring disruption and can be further classified into rotational and vertical. The Tile classification distinguishes three types of PRF based on their degree of instability [2]. According to the mentioned classification, type A fractures are inherently stable, type B are rotationally unstable but vertically stable and type C are rotationally and vertically unstable (Figures 1 and 2). Additionally, three subtypes can be distinguished for each type of PRF depending on the degree of instability present.
Pelvic Ring Fractures and Lower Urinary Tract Injuries

A strength of this study is that the Tile classification system was used to accurately characterize all analyzed PRFs. Conversely, limitations of the study are that the extent, grade, management and outcomes of each LUTI were not measured or analyzed in detail. Therefore, it is difficult to clearly determine whether more unstable PRFs resulted in higher grades of bladder and urethral injuries [4]. In addition, it is difficult to make definitive conclusions based on the relatively small numbers in the subgroup analysis. For example, the LUTI incidence rate of 22.2% in Tile C3 factors is based on a subgroup analysis of only 9 patients.

In this study, the Tile classification was used. There were three cases of Tile B2.2, which is the bucket handle injury. For this fracture, the violence was above the iliac wing; thus, the ipsilateral pelvis was in the horizontal plane and sagittal plane rotation displacement occurred: varus and supination. The anterior ring structures of the ipsilateral side moved inward and upward; this type of movement may be accompanied by L5 transverse process avulsion fractures, which can be easily confused with vertically displaced fractures.
