ATLS: binder early for unstable pelvis; hemorrhage control is priority. Tile A stable, B rotationally unstable, C rot + vertical unstable. Hemorrhage control: binder, ex-fix, C-clamp, packing, angio. Fixation: anterior plating/ex-fix, posterior SI screws/lumbopelvic. Complications: hemorrhage, urethral/bladder, neuro injury.
