Basic Principles of Pediatric Traumatology

It is a work that represents a multidisciplinary approach to the most prevalent traumatic pathology in pediatric age, including the basic fundamentals from the point of view of pediatrics and trauma surgery of clavicle fractures, supracondylar fractures of distal humerus, forearm, distal radius, femur and diaphyseal fractures of tibia and fibula in pediatric age.Inside, the most important classifications are detailed, as well as the mechanism of injury that will help us to better understand each fracture pattern. It also details the radiological signs that we should look for to diagnose this pathology and an approach to orthopedic or surgical treatment protocol, taking into account the different factors of each patient.It is a work that represents a multidisciplinary approach to the most prevalent traumatic pathology in pediatric age, including the basic fundamentals from the point of view of pediatrics and trauma surgery of clavicle fractures, supracondylar fractures of distal humerus, forearm, distal radius, femur and diaphyseal fractures of tibia and fibula in pediatric age.Inside, the most important classifications are detailed, as well as the mechanism of injury that will help us to better understand each fracture pattern.
