Pelvic fractures in childhood are rare injuries. Because of the physeal load of pelvic region, thickness of the periosteum and laxity of the joints, pelvic fractures are rare. To be able to break a bone, high energy is needed and because of this high energy, additional other organ injuries may be the reason for mortality. Because of the high concentration of chondral tissue, there is a high capacity of remodelization, and most of the pelvic fractures in this age group can be treated conservatively. Displaced and unstable fractures have the indication for operation, skeletally mature patients are treated as they are elderly. Although complication rates are low, it should not be forgotten that, if these patients have pelvic asymmetry, they will have to live all their life with this deformity.
