Perhaps the most important way of classifying pelvic fractures is into stable or unstable fractures. The majority of pelvic fractures are stable. Less severe fractures which involve undisplaced fractures can occur after falls or trips, particularly if the bones are 'thin' (osteoporosis). For this reason painful but stable fractures are more common in elderly people who tend to have 'thinner' bones, and who are sometimes prone to falls. Causes of pelvic avulsion fractures Repetitive straining or friction against the coccyx (as happens in bicycling or rowing) can injure the coccyx. Other investigations may include blood tests to assess the degree of blood loss and the function of the liver and kidneys, and testing of the urine to look for damage to the bladder. How are pelvic fractures treated?
