Abstract

 Pediatric pelvis fractures are less commonly seen after injuries in pediatric age group. These should be specifically sought for in pediatric poly-trauma and stabilized as an emergency. Clinical diagnosis should be made and patient investigated after hemodynamic stability is achieved. Torode and Zeig is the most widely accepted classification and has its value in planning management of the patient. Recent trend is towards aggressive management of these injuries to minimize mortality and morbidity associated with these fractures. This review on pediatric pelvic injuries elaborates the major differences with adult pelvis and their management with recent trends to understand the injury pattern in this age group and complications associated.
