Pelvic Fractures, How Can Women Prevent Them? - Dr. Mullis (VIDEO)

Dr. Mullis:
Well, the best prevention is not to get hurt. For pelvis fractures, usually it’s a high-energy injury such as a car accident, motorcycle accident, fall from a great height. So, the best prevention is to wear your seatbelt, to be driving the speed limit, to not be doing things that put you at risk for a high-energy injury.
