Abstract

Lateral compression (LC) 3 pelvic ring injuries are high energy, complex patterns that may include a "crescent fracture," which is an important consideration when determining the appropriate fixation tactic. This review discusses the reduction and fixation of a pediatric LC3 pelvic ring injury with particular focus on the open and percutaneous techniques for treatment of a crescent fracture.
