Abstrakt: Crescent fractures are a rare type of pelvic injury. They result from a lateral compression force and are rotationally unstable. The following is a case of a young male who suffered a crescent fracture on the right side of the pelvis and was treated for the same. These fractures, being rare and complex, need to be managed in accordance with other injuries sustained by the patient and also need fixation for a better functional outcome.
