Pelvic binders are external devices commonly used to stabilize the pelvic ring[1] in patients with suspected unstable pelvic fracture[2]. 

Most binders have a single metallic buckle, which allows the approximate assessment of their position on pelvic radiographs too. The plastic parts are only visible on CT. Both on plain film and CT the buckle should be positioned approximately at the level of the greater trochanters 1. 

Pelvic binders prevent further dislocation of fractured bone fragment, thus reducing the risk of further soft tissue trauma (e.g. vessel laceration). By stabilizing the pelvis, these devices facilitate clot formation 2. The binder is typically applied in the pre-hospital setting. It has been shown that a high position above the greater trochanters is the most common form of binder malposition, and it ...
