Aims

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between transverse process (TP) fractures of the fourth (L4) and fifth (L5) lumbar vertebrae and biomechanical and haemodynamic stability in patients with a pelvic ring injury, since previous data are inconsistent.

Patients and Methods

The study is a retrospective matched-pair analysis of patients with a pelvic fracture according to the modified Tile AO Müller and the Young and Burgess classification who presented to a level 1 trauma centre between January 2005 and December 2014.
