Once the fracture has healed enough, rehabilitation can be started with first standing upright with the help of a physical therapist, followed by starting to walk using a walker and eventually progressing to a cane. Prognosis
Mortality rates in people with pelvic fractures are between 10 and 16 percent. However, death is typically due to associated trauma affecting other organs, such as the brain. Death rates due to complications directly related to pelvic fractures, such as bleeding, are relatively low. Epidemiology
About 10 percent of people that seek treatment at a level 1 trauma center after a blunt force injury have a pelvic fracture. Motorcycle injuries are the most common cause of pelvic fractures, followed by injuries to pedestrians caused by motor vehicles, large falls (over 15 feet), and motor vehicle crashes. See also

Stannic oxide (SnO2)
The primary uses for stannic oxide (SnO2) include polishing glass, marble, silver, and jewelry in addition to creating dyes for fabrics, paper, ceramic glazes, printing inks, coatings, and pigments in food polymers. Stannic oxide is also insoluble in water and dissociates in sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acid. Case studies
De-tinning plant
In 1679, a 26 year old tin miner who worked in a smelter was found to have odd lung physiology after a radiography. He was asymptomatic despite having profuse small, metallic nodules in the lungs. At the same plant, a 55 year old man who loaded scrap tin into smelting furnaces for 15 years was assessed. His radiography confirmed that his cough and crackle was due to metallic bilateral nodules on the lungs, or stannosis. The second males biopsy revealed macrophages overwhelmed with dust deposits that affected hist connective tissue in the lungs. The case study determined that two workers in a detinning mine, who handled molten tin, developed stannosis. According to the researchers of "Stannosis: A report of 2 cases", the two workers were subject to the dustiest job of packaging tin-oxide for transportation. Tin miners are typically researched when assessing for stannosis because their exposure to tin oxides is around 70-80% in comparison to other job tasks in a plant. Tinning milk reservoir tanks
After 17 years of painting tin hot tin powder into the inside of tanks, a 74 year old male patient developed a dry cough and progressive dyspnea.
