Abstract
The leading cause of death in the pediatric population is trauma, of which pelvic
injuries make up a very small percentage. Trauma to the pelvis can result in multiple
injuries to the bony pelvis, rectum, bladder, and or the urethra. Although mortality
in the pediatric population is typically secondary to associated injuries, pelvic
hemorrhage can be a life-threatening event. The management of patients with complex
pelvic injuries requires a multidisciplinary approach in order to achieve the best
possible outcomes.
