Author information: (1)Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Optimal management of pediatric orthopedic trauma requires understanding the unique characteristics of the immature musculoskeletal system. The principles of pediatric orthopedic trauma management include anticipating future growth and bone remodeling potential, minimizing physeal injury, and aggressive treatment of open fractures and compartment syndromes. This article discusses the fundamentals of the pediatric musculoskeletal system and pediatric orthopedic trauma management in general and as they apply to specific injuries.
