About Pediatric Fractures

Pediatric fractures are bone breaks in children, which require specialized care from pediatric orthopedics due to unique factors like growth plates. Treatment ranges from non-surgical methods like casting to surgical interventions such as closed reduction or internal fixation with plates or flexible rods. The primary goals are precise realignment, stabilization, and preserving future bone growth. Pediatric orthopedists use child-specific techniques and imaging to ensure optimal healing and function, minimizing long-term complications and supporting a swift return to activity.

Key Highlights

Specialized care for growing bones and growth plates (physes).Utilizes child-friendly, minimally invasive techniques when possible.Aims to restore full function and prevent long-term deformity.Focuses on rapid healing and return to play/activity.Involves a family-centered approach to care and recovery.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced fractures that cannot be adequately aligned with casting alone.
Open fractures (bone breaks through the skin).
Fractures involving the growth plate (physeal fractures).
Unstable fractures prone to re-displacement.
Certain joint (intra-articular) fractures requiring precise alignment.
Multiple fractures or polytrauma.

How to prepare

Comprehensive physical exam and imaging (X-rays, sometimes CT/MRI).
Discussion of treatment options, anesthesia, and risks with the family.
Pre-operative blood tests and medical clearance if surgery is planned.
Fasting as instructed by the anesthesiologist.
Arranging for post-procedure support and transportation.

Risks & possible complications

Infection (higher risk with open fractures or surgery).
Nerve or blood vessel injury near the fracture site.
Stiffness or loss of range of motion in the affected limb.
Growth disturbance if the growth plate is injured.
Malunion (bone healing in incorrect position) or nonunion (failure to heal).
Complications related to anesthesia.
Need for further procedures.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial period of immobilization with a cast or splint.
Pain management with prescribed medications.
Elevation and ice application to reduce swelling.
Follow-up X-rays to monitor healing progress.
Gradual introduction of physical therapy to regain strength and motion.
Activity restrictions until cleared by the orthopedic surgeon.
Long-term monitoring for growth-related issues in some cases.

Typical hospital stay: 0-3 days
Expected recovery time: 3 weeks to 3 months

PATIENT REVIEW

Rahul Garcia, a lively 4-year-old, took...

Rahul Garcia, a lively 4-year-old, took a hard tumble down three carpeted steps at his daycare in San Diego. He cried inconsolably and refused to bear any weight on his left leg. His mothers brought him to the pediatric orthopedics clinic where he was clingy and withdrawn. X-rays revealed a subtle, non-displaced spiral fracture of his tibia, a common 'toddler's fracture.' Dr. Chen recommended a long-leg cast to immobilize the bone completely, ensuring it healed in the correct position without needing surgery. The casting process was upsetting for Rahul; he cried at the sight of the cast saw (used only to trim the material) and the unfamiliar sensation. However, the team used distraction techniques with bubbles and a tablet. Within a few days at home, Rahul adapted remarkably, using a small wheelchair and scooting around. After 4 weeks, the cast was removed. His recovery was full, with no limp. Emotionally, the journey moved from trauma and confusion to adaptation and triumph. His mothers noted that overcoming this challenge seemed to boost his confidence, and he now tells the story of his 'special robot leg' with pride.
