Paediatric fractures Expert Witnesses

Paediatric Fractures are breaks in bones occurring in infants, children and adolescents, often following falls, sports injuries or other trauma. Children's developing bones and growth plates require specialist assessment, as injuries may affect future bone growth and alignment. Diagnosis typically involves clinical examination and imaging, with treatment ranging from immobilisation to surgical fixation. Potential complications include malunion, growth disturbance and joint stiffness.
