Trauma of the pelvis and the hip are frequent and the most common lesions are fractures and dislocations. There are other traumatic lesions around the pelvis, including epiphysiolysis of the femoral head and apophysiolysis of the common muscle insertions around the hip. Cartilaginous lesions and some less frequent fractures are also illustrated in this article. We are not claiming to give a complete overview of traumatic injuries to the pelvis and the hip, but want to illustrate some more and some less frequent lesions.
