The characteristics and treatment of pelvic fractures vary between general conditions and modern war. An expert consensus has been reached based on pelvic injury epidemiology and the concepts of battlefield treatment combined with the existing levels of military medical care in modern warfare. According to this consensus

first aid

emergency treatment and early treatment of pelvic fractures are introduced in three separate levels. In Level Ⅰ facilities

simple triage and rapid treatment following the principles of advanced trauma life support are recommended to evaluate combat casualties during the first-aid stage. Re-evaluation

further immobilization and fixation

and hemostasis are recommended at Level Ⅱ facilities. At Level Ⅲ facilities

the main components of damage control surgery are recommended

including comprehensive hemostasis

a proper resuscitation strategy

the treatment of concurrent visceral and blood vessel damage

and battlefield intensive care. The grading standard for evidence evaluation and recommendation was used to reach this expert consensus.
