Classification | Characteristics | |
Type A (Stable) | A1 | Intact posterior ring, iliac avulsion fracture |
A2 | Intact posterior ring, direct iliac fracture | |
A3 | Intact posterior ring, transverse sacral fracture below S2 | |
Type B (Rotationally Unstable, Vertically Stable) | B1 | Open book injury, unilateral external rotation instability |
B2 | Lateral compression, unilateral internal rotation instability | |
B3 | Bilateral type B injuries | |
Type C (Both Rotationally and Vertically Unstable) | C1 | Unilateral vertical instability |
C2 | Bilateral injuries, one side rotationally unstable, the other side vertically unstable | |
C3 | Bilateral vertical instability |
Explanation
The Tile classification combines injury mechanisms and radiological findings into types A, B, and C. This classification system better describes the stability of the pelvic ring and is widely used in guiding the final treatment of pelvic fractures.
