Description:
The care of children has been integral in the historic development of orthopedics as a surgical specialty. Formal fellowship training of pediatric orthopedists, however, only began in the late 1970s. Many orthopedic generalists provide emergency orthopedic care for children, and when on call, much of their charge is to determine the triage and treatment of traumatic injuries. This article will address identification and management of a few examples of pediatric trauma emergencies which may require immediate or urgent surgical intervention. There are some emergent injuries we treat similarly as adults: compartment syndrome and open fractures; and there are other injuries that have unique concerns for children such as supracondylar humerus fractures, femoral neck fractures, and distal femur fractures.
