Abstract
Fractures of the pelvic ring in children behave differently than in adults. In children, bone elastic properties allow for plastic deformation instead of complete breaks. To the best of our knowledge no reports of this bony behavior have been described in the sacrum, and this could explain the presence of single displaced anterior breaks without evident posterior pelvic disruption. The objective of this paper is to document a rare type of posterior pelvis trauma: the green-stick fracture of the sacrum.
