Child Fractures and Injuries

Children are naturally active, making them more prone to fractures and injuries during play, sports, or accidental falls. Pediatric fractures are different from adult fractures because growing bones have unique healing patterns and growth plates that require special attention.

Prompt evaluation is essential to avoid long-term complications affecting bone growth.

Treatment may involve splints, casts, or surgical fixation in severe cases, followed by rehabilitation. With appropriate pediatric orthopedic care, most fractures heal quickly and effectively. Early treatment ensures proper bone alignment, normal growth, and a safe return to daily activities and sports.
