The purposes of this article were to (1) compare our combined pelvic ring and acetabular fracture patients' rate of mortality and Injury Severity Score (ISS) to those of patients with isolated injuries at our center and to those with combined injuries as reported in the literature, (2) describe our treatment algorithm using the INFIX for these combination injuries, and (3) report our patients' radiographic and functional outcomes.
