Abstract
Paediatric pelvic fractures are rare lesions. In the literature still controversy exists regarding the management of these injuries. The sequelae of these types of lesions has been described. We report the management and long term outcome of 8 patients with paediatric pelvic fractures treated in our institution. Associated injuries to the Risser's growth nuclei are described that has not been previously reported. Anatomical reduction of the displaced fracture should be considered to minimise the risk of long term functional impairment.
