In this study, we present the management of an intra-articular fracture in a 13-year-old boy with WAGR syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder. The goal of this study was to provide possible solutions to the complex pain management requirements presenting in the setting of trauma to the right lower extremity. Given the scarcity of literature available with regard to this condition, we aim to not only increase awareness of the disease but also provide insight into trauma management and expected outcomes.
