Pelvic Plate vs. Non-Surgical Management: Which is Better?

 

Pelvic fractures can be serious, and treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury. Surgical treatment using pelvic plates helps fix unstable or displaced fractures for better healing and faster mobility. Non-surgical treatment works well for minor, stable fractures and is less risky for older or unfit patients. Surgery offers better alignment but comes with higher costs and some risks. Non-surgical methods are more economical but may require longer rest. Doctors choose the best option based on each patient’s condition. Both treatments have their own benefits. The goal is always safe healing and a return to normal life.
