Non-accidental pediatric pelvic fracture: a case report

Pediatr Radiol. 1998 May;28(5):344-6. doi: 10.1007/s002470050371.

Abstract

Few reports have documented pelvic fracture as a result of child abuse. We present a case with radiologic findings and pathologic correlation. Although documented patterns of osseous injury have been extensively described, a thorough skeletal evaluation must include a frontal view of the pelvis as well.
