Growth Plate (Physeal) Injuriesgrowth plate (the physis) meaning that the paediatric skeleton will respond differently to trauma. This chapter will review the injuries that occur around the physis or growth plate and their potential complications. To understand the role of the growth plate it is important to have an understanding

In addition, femoral head perfusion is precarious and can be interrupted by injuries around the hip joint. Recognising these po

Whilst the mechanisms of injury to the shoulder in children are similar to those in adults, the fracture patterns seen differ as a consequence of the presence of the physes, with physeal separation occurrin

Ultrasound in Paediatric Traumaof MR-Imaging (.). Apart from the lack of ionising radiation, ultrasound has several advantages over other imaging modalities: It allows a real time dynamic assessment of musculoskeletal conditions, compared to MR-Imaging there is excellent patient tolerance without any need for sedation and it can also be used to guide interventional procedures
