External pelvic fixation in an infant: a case report.
We report on the use of a small-frame Hoffman external fixator on an 18-month-old, 25-pound infant with a severe complex pelvic fracture and prostatic and urethral injury. The small-frame external fixator was found to be adequate in stabilizing the pelvis and maintaining hemodynamic control.
