UNDERSTANDING PAEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDIC TRAUMA
Expert Care for Growing Bones
Children’s bones are different from adult bones. They are still developing, making them more flexible but also more susceptible to unique injuries such as growth plate fractures. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to ensure proper healing and prevent future growth-related complications.
Whether caused by falls, playground accidents, sports activities, or road traffic injuries, paediatric orthopaedic trauma requires careful evaluation and age-appropriate treatment. Dr. Amit Kumar Sharma provides comprehensive trauma care focused on helping children recover safely while preserving normal bone growth and joint function.
Treatment is always individualized, with surgery recommended only when necessary and conservative management preferred whenever appropriate.

Common questions answered
Are children's fractures different from adult fractures?
Yes. Children's bones are still growing and contain growth plates, which require specialized assessment and treatment to prevent future complications.
What is a growth plate injury?
A growth plate injury affects the developing end of a child's bone. Prompt treatment is important because untreated injuries may affect normal bone growth.
Do all fractures in children require surgery?
No. Many fractures heal successfully with casts or splints. Surgery is recommended only for unstable, displaced, or complex injuries.
How quickly do children's bones heal?
Children generally heal faster than adults, although recovery depends on the child's age, the type of fracture, and the treatment provided.
Can my child return to sports after a fracture?
Yes. Most children return to sports once the fracture has healed completely and strength and movement have been restored under medical guidance.
How do I know if my child has a fracture?
Persistent pain, swelling, deformity, difficulty using the affected limb, or refusal to bear weight after an injury should be evaluated by an orthopaedic specialist.
Will my child need physiotherapy?
Some children benefit from physiotherapy, especially after complex fractures or surgery, to restore strength and movement.
Can untreated fractures affect bone growth?
Certain fractures involving the growth plate may affect future bone development if not treated appropriately. Early evaluation helps reduce this risk.
