# Duverney’s Fracture Fixed by Skiver Screw in a Skeletally Immature Patient: A Case Report

## 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.

## Key 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.
