ABSTRACT
Trauma is the leading cause of death in children. Pelvic ring injuries account for 0.3-4% of all paediatric injuries. The pattern of fractures differs to that seen in adults as it is more ductile. Pelvic ring injuries tend to be more stable as the relatively thick periosteum restricts bony displacement. Intrapelvic viscera are not well protected and can sustain injury in the absence of pelvic fractures. These injuries have traditionally been treated non-operatively. In this paper, we comprehensively review the literature and propose a protocol for treatment taking into consideration associated organ injuries, hemodynamic status of the patient, patient's age, type of fracture and the stability of the pelvic ring.
