(A) A 79-year-old male patient with Tile type C1 unstable pelvic fractures which were determined as left crescent fracture, sacroiliac joint disruption and symphysis pubis diastasis on 3-dimensional computed tomographys.
(B) Embolization with gelfoam and microcoil about the inferior epigastric artery (arrow).

(A, B) A 28-year-old male patient with Tile type C1 unstable pelvic fractures which were determined as right crescent fracture including the ipsilateral superior and inferior rami on X-ray and 3-dimensional computed tomography.
(C) Conservative therapy with skeletal traction about 2 months due to liver injury.
(D) Osteotomy and multiple plate fixation about the malunion site of the ilium and ramus. Postoperative X-ray shows stable fixation but the right hemipelvis was rotated internally and migrated about 1 cm upward.

(A, B) A 39-year-old female patient with Tile type C3 unstable pelvic fracture with left sacral fracture, which were both superior and inferior rami fractures on X-ray and 3-dimensional computed tomographys.
(C) Delayed operation due to problems with the patient's general condition. postoperative x-ray shows plate fixation on the left ramus, posterior sacral fracture.
(D) At 1 year, the left ramus and posterior sacral fracture site were nonunion and metal breakage on follow X-ray.
