Jomon De Joseph, Ganesh Krishnan KR, Venkataram V
TL;DR
A 15-year-old girl with a rare pelvic fracture was successfully treated with a special screw method, leading to full recovery.
Contribution
This case report presents a unique treatment of Duverney’s fracture in a skeletally immature patient using the Skiver screw method.
Findings
The patient showed radiologically complete union eight months post-surgery.
The Skiver screw method provided good functional outcomes in a skeletally immature patient.
Open reduction and fixation with a screw and plate was effective for treating the fracture.
Abstract
Duverney’s fracture, an eponym for isolated iliac wing fracture, is rather an uncommon fracture in the subset of pelvic ring fracture in the AO/OTA (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classification. Here, we discuss a more unique case with Duverney’s fracture since the patient is a 15-year-old school-going girl with unfused physis of the ilium. After other injuries were ruled out, she underwent open reduction and fixation with a screw by the Skiver method augmented with the plate. Postoperatively, she was mobilized, and follow-up at eight months showed radiologically complete union with good functional outcome.
