APASI is a forum that helps in the exchange of knowledge and practice of pelvic-acetabular surgeries. Pelvis and Acetabulum fractures are among the most serious injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. The complexity can be better understood by looking at the anatomy that is involved. Pelvic fractures may occur at any location on the bones depending on the nature of the accident and the areas of impact. These fractures are critical due to its high weariness and fatality.
