BACKGROUND: Existing classification systems may not adequately describe the injury patterns seen pelvic ring and acetabular fractures in the skeletally immature population. Pediatric patients, once stabilized, are often transferred for these injuries. We evaluated which commonly used systems correlate with clinical management in pediatric patients, including transfer patterns based on injury severity. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients aged 1 to 15 treated for traumatic pelvic or acetabular fractures over a 10-year period at an academic level I Pediatric Trauma Center reviewed demographic, radiographic, and clinical data. RESULTS: A total of 188 pediatric patients (average age 10.1 y) were included.
