This will be the first installment of the Orthopaedic Trauma Journal Club presented by AO Trauma North America. During this series, we will feature landmark orthopaedic trauma articles with interviews of the authors and an opportunity to ask questions. The series will be separated based on anatomic location/injuries. In this first installment, we will be focusing on pelvic ring injuries.

The AO Trauma NA Journal Club will provide you the opportunity to better understand these landmark articles including: what prompted the study, takeaway points, how practice has changed, and limitations.
