Introduction: A fracture is a solution in the continuity of a bone. Pelvic limb fractures may involve one or more of the bones. They constitute a real public health problem, which requires the identification of the factors inherent to this phenomenon for better prevention, but also for quality management of fractures and sequelae. Objectives: Were to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic profile of pelvic limb fractures in Timbuktu Hospital. Patients and Method: We conducted a prospective, descriptive study in the Surgery Department of Timbuktu Hospital, covering a period of one year from January 1 to December 31, 2017. We collected 39 patients who presented with fractures of the pelvic limbs, who were hospitalized and monitored throughout our study. Results: We obtained a hospital frequency of 2.86% limb fractures. Among the 39 patients included in our study, the male sex was predominant in 69.2% of cases, the average age of our patients was 20.5 years. Pupils and students were in the majority in 48.7% of cases. Road traffic accidents were the most common cause of fracture with 59.0% of cases. The tibia was the most affected segment in 38.5% of cases. Surgical treatment was predominant in 64.0% of cases. We obtained very good results in 94.87% of cases. Conclusion: Limb fractures remain frequent due to road traffic accidents. Osteosynthesis treatment provides a good result with fewer complications.
