AB Traumatic  pelvic  fractures  require  high-energy  trauma,  thus  look  for  other  associated  injuries.Reduction  of  a  hip  dislocation  should  take  place  within  6  hours  of  the  injury.Legg–Calvé–Perthes  disease  is  an  idiopathic  avascular  necrosis  (AVN)  of  the  femoral  head.A  spiral  femur  fracture  in  a  nonambulatory  infant  or  child  suggests  child  abuse.Distal  femoral  epiphyseal  fractures  in  children  can  cause  lower  extremity  growth  disturbances.Spiral  tibial  shaft  fractures  are  termed  toddler’s  fracture  in  those  just  learning  to  walk.The  most  common  fracture  of  the  talus  is  in  the  neck,  which  occurs  from  forced  dorsiflexion.  This  injury  is  often  complicated  by  AVN.Lisfranc  fracture  occurs  at  the  base  of  the  second  metatarsal,  where  the  stability  of  the  midfoot  is  maintained.The  Jones  fracture  is  a  metatarsal  neck  fracture  distal  to  the  apophysis  of  the  base  of  the  fifth  metatarsal.
