"Pelvic fractures carry significant mortality and morbidity. It has been reported that ~75% of pre-hospital deaths from motor vehicle collisions are secondary to pelvic fractures ³."

Line 80:98 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-hospital'.

"Pelvic bleeding can be from injured arteries, veins or from the fractured bone itself. Most bleeding (80%) occurs at low pressure due to venous injury or blood oozing from fractured bones. High pressure bleeding (20%) is from arterial injury ⁸."

Line 45:40 · Use the Oxford comma in 'arteries, veins or from'.

"X-rays are a quick and simple test that will detect the majority of pelvic fractures. They can be difficult to assess because of the complexity of the shape of the sacrum, pelvis and proximal femora."

Line 54:168 · Use the Oxford comma in 'sacrum, pelvis and proximal'.
