Adolescents and youngsters have less developed risk assessment skills, which contributes to this. Skeletal development also occurs at a time when bone is less stable, albeit more elastic, than in adulthood. These characteristics account for the greater prevalence of fractures and the faster recovery seen in children and adolescents. Fracture treatment in children and adolescents calls for expert understanding of the unique radiographic architecture, growth features of healthy and injured bones and fracture dynamics of this age group. But youngsters are often handled as if they were little adults. An abnormally high number of complaints are made about the treatment of fractures that occur throughout the time of skeletal development. The goal of this article is to review juvenile fractures and help them realise when these injuries require specialised care.
