Although the vast majority of orthopaedists do not specialize in pediatrics, almost all practicing orthopaedists, and certainly anyone on emergency trauma call, will be called on at some point to treat a child with a fracture. It is therefore imperative for practitioners to have some working knowledge of current pediatric fracture care. At a minimum, all orthopaedists should have an understanding of which pediatric fractures are emergencies and why, how to treat these fractures or at least temporize before definitive treatment, and how and why the treatment of children's fractures sometimes differs from that of adult fractures.
