Abstract

A field accident analysis was carried out to document the lesions and the injury mechanisms encountered in lateral impact. Pelvic structures subjected to dynamic loads were studied to determine its biomechanical behavior and its lesion threshold. A good agreement was found between the dynamic tests and the real life observations. The fracture threshold was well bordered by the chosen energy level of impact, and consequently, a first corridor including the behavior of the pelvic bony structure up to the level of injury is proposed.
