Number, treatment, and mortality of paediatric pelvic ring fractures in two level 1 trauma centres in the Netherlands

There has been a shift towards surgical treatment without prior external fixation, with differences noted in the treatment approaches between children and adolescents, particularly in surgical fixation methods.
