Background
- Duverney's fracture, an isolated iliac wing fracture, is rare within pelvic ring fractures (AO/OTA classification).
- This case highlights a unique presentation in a skeletally immature patient.
Observation
- A 15-year-old female presented with an isolated iliac wing fracture.
- The patient had unfused iliac physes, a rare characteristic for this injury.
- Associated injuries were excluded.
Findings
- The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation using the Skiver method with screw and plate augmentation.
- Postoperative mobilization was initiated.
- Radiological union was achieved by eight months post-surgery, with a positive functional outcome.
Implications
- This case demonstrates the successful surgical management of Duverney's fracture in a skeletally immature patient.
- It supports the efficacy of open reduction and fixation for such injuries, even with unfused physes.
- The findings contribute to understanding pelvic trauma management in adolescents.
