Summary

Pelvic injuries are uncommon in children and account for approximately 1–2% of all paediatric fractures [1–3], with high-energy motor vehicle accidents being the commonest cause [4]. Efficient primary assessment using Adult Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and Paediatric Life Support (PLS) principles, with subsequent secondary/tertiary surveys, will guide immediate management and identify associated injuries.
