Pediatric Orthopedic Trauma

Pediatric orthopedic trauma refers to injuries to the bones and joints in children, often caused by accidents, sports, or falls. Children’s bones are different from adults'—they are softer and more flexible, making them prone to specific types of injuries like fractures. Treatment often involves immobilization with casts or splints, and in some cases, surgery. Prompt and appropriate care is essential to ensure proper healing, as children's bones grow and develop continuously. Pediatric orthopedic specialists focus on these issues, ensuring that children can regain full function and avoid long-term complications from their injuries.
