Immobilisierung

“If a bone is fractured, immobilizing it will reduce the potential for further injury and pain.”
“First consideration in managing fractures is to control hemorrhage and treat for shock.”
“In general, most fractures are splinted in the position in which they are found.”

“Traumatic disruption of the pelvic ring is a major cause of life-threatening hemorrhage. The vascular anatomy of the pelvis, coupled with the bulk of cancellous bone, can account for exsanguinating hemorrhage after severe pelvic fractures. Early stabilization, as with other fractures, is a tenet of management, but adequate fracture stabilization of the pelvis is difficult.”
