Due to their rarity, literature on these injuries is limited, with only a few reported cases. The primary objective of this study was to present a series of uncommon pediatric injuries, outline our management approach, and demonstrate that even patients undergoing delayed surgical intervention can achieve favorable clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study reviewed records of skeletally immature patients with traumatic acetabular fractures treated at our institution. Patients were surgically treated with open reduction and internal fixation through lateral rectus abdominis approach; follow\u2010ups included radiological assessment of bone union and internal fixation integrity. Postoperative reduction was evaluated using Matta's criteria, while functional outcomes were measured via the Modified Merle d'Aubign\u00e9 and Postel Method (pain, gait, mobility) and the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Complications were documented throughout follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between January 2019 and January 2025, 14 pediatric patients with acetabular fractures (five males, nine females; mean age 11.42\u2009\u00b1\u20092.24\u2009years) were treated and followed for an average of 33.71\u2009\u00b1\u200914.41\u2009months. Injuries resulted from falls (57.14%), car accidents (28.57%), and motorcycle\/bicycle accidents (7.14% each). According to Judet and Letournel classification, fractures included double\u2010column (57.14%), transverse (35.72%), and anterior with posterior hemi\u2010transverse (7.14%). All underwent surgery, achieving bone union. The mean Harris Hip Score was 90.35\u2009\u00b1\u20095.58, with 71.42% rated excellent, 21.42% good, and 7.14% fair. The mean Merle d'Aubign\u00e9 score was 17.21\u2009\u00b1\u20091.12. Mild hip pain occurred in three patients, with no other complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pediatric acetabular fractures, typically caused by high\u2010energy trauma, require treatment focused on optimal outcomes and anatomical reduction, even in delayed cases.
