Children heal faster than adults, but their growing bones need special care. Pediatric trauma surgery focuses on treating fractures and injuries gently, with techniques designed to protect growth and future development. The aim is to help children bounce back quickly and return to play, study, and sports without lasting problems.
Indications
Fractures in children, especially those involving growth plates, and injuries from falls, sports, or accidents.
Basic Principle
Children’s bones heal quickly and differently from adults. Treatment focuses on gentle alignment and protecting growth plates.
Newer Advances
Flexible nails and wires that don’t damage growth.
Minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery.
Image-guided fixation ensuring accuracy.
How it Helps
Children bounce back rapidly when treated correctly. Proper management ensures they can return to play, school, and sports without long-term deformity, reassuring both parents and child about a healthy future.
