It depends on where the fracture is exactly and if the bones are displaced, meaning they''ve moved out of normal positioning when they were fractured. For certain pelvic fractures where the bones are not in correct placement and need to be brought back together and held in place, pins and an external fixator is sometimes used. This is metal hardware that is outside the body but holds pins in place that secure the bones. Most often there is no kind of surgical procedure to repair a pelvic fracture, it's allowed to heal on it's own when the ends of the fractured bone are still in place. It's painful but the pain isn't usually intolerable and gets better fairly quickly.
