Last revised by Yuranga Weerakkody on 27 Aug 2023

Duverney fractures are a type of pelvic fracture most commonly occurring in the setting of a direct blow to the ilium, with a resultant isolated iliac wing fracture. It is regarded as a stable injury but may be operated on in the event of severe comminution. 

History and etymology

It is named after Joseph Guichard Duverney (1648-1730), a French surgeon.
