Pediatric pelvic fractures: an epidemiological analysis of a population-based database.

Despite a high prevalence in the pediatric trauma population, there remains a lack of large population-based epidemiological studies on pediatric pelvic fractures. Using a de-identified national clinical registry, we investigated the epidemiological features of pediatric pelvic fractures. We performed a retrospective analysis of data obtained from the IBM Watson Health Explorys Platform (Armonk, NY).

Suture Fixation of a Pediatric Pelvic Ring Injury: A Case Report.

Case: A 2-year-old male child presented as a polytrauma after having been run over by a motor vehicle. His orthopaedic injuries included a pelvic ring injury, a displaced subtrochanteric femur fracture, and a clavicle fracture. His pelvic ring injury ultimately required open reduction with suture fixation after failure of closed management.
