The authors describe the application and use of an emergency frame for pelvic fracture stabilization. This “resuscitation frame” can be placed rapidly, even in the emergency department setting, and provides the patient with an effective means of tamponade. Because carbon fiber rods are used, radiograph will show the reduction. Later, definitive fixation of the pelvis may be performed with the frame in place, or if a stable fracture is present, the frame may be used to treat the fracture definitively
