Are you able to ambulate when you have a pelvic fracture?

Fractures of the pelvis are uncommon, accounting for only 0.3-6% of all fractures.

To speed up the healing process, some practitioners of alternative medicine recommend magnetic field therapy, hydrogen peroxide therapy, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, and zinc.

Those with bone-weakening conditions (osteoporosis or cancer), or tendencies to fall, should follow their treatment regimens, use walking aids, home safety devices and avoid climbing up.

High-speed accidents (car or motorcycle crashes), falls from great heights, spontaneously or after minor falls in those with bone-weakening diseases (osteoporosis) or during athletic activities.

Pelvic fractures are classified as stable or unstable, and as open or closed.
