Abstract		The unstable pelvic is one of the treatment priorities. In the acute phase an external skeletal fixation controls bleeding and stabilizes the patient. External fixation has also an important role in definitive treatment of disruption of pelvic ring by adding percutaneus internal fixation techniques, some times also in the acute phase in polytrauma patient. In the majority of patients with unstable pelvic ring the haemodinamic stability and mobilization to upright chest position can be achieved with an external fixation. By adding minimally invasive methods ot internal fixation in C type fracture, adequate stability to allow full mobilization can be achieved. Other major injuries have important influence on the method of stabilization and the outcome of the patient. In the different types of the fracture (A, B, C) we use follow tactics: a) Single-phase treatment, b) Double-phase treatment, c) Stage treatment.
