Due to growth plates, the pediatric skeleton is much more complicated in regard to fractures especially those involving the growth plate. The pediatric skeletal fractures can occur with different/additional mechanisms to that of the adult skeleton secondary to this. Many of the issues with pediatric...
extraphysical plates for treating limb deformities are increasing the reliability of ortho pediatric devices, thereby increasing their demand in healthcare facilities. Moreover, the growth of the global orthogeriatric devices market is expected to be boosted by increased research and development activities...
the measurements. Consequently, the new extended knemometer offers the option to compress the soft tissue by placing different weights (up to 2.5 kg) on the measuring plate, as the top of the knee and the plate are fixed during the measuring procedure. Preliminary data show that the inter-o...
When treating a child’s injury, your pediatric orthopedic doctors will also evaluate your child’s growth plate to ensure the bone heals correctly.” says Dr. Shyam Kishan. “Lastly, growth plates are the weakest areas of a child’s growing skeleton. Because they are weak, it makes them ...
Cartilage and growth plates are hypoechoic and may be confused for a cortical irregularity (or fracture) on POCUS. Comparative ultrasound of the unaffected contralateral side is often helpful to differentiate fracture from normal anatomy. Each bone should be evaluated separately and in at least two ...
Specific to pediatric acute knee injuries, palpation of growth plates should be completed to rule out injuries or determine the need for radiographs. Range of Motion Evaluating knee range of motion includes identifying asymmetry in motion, pain with either terminal flexion or extension, mechanical ...

Foot and ankle problems in the young athlete differ from those in adults. These differences relate primarily to skeletal maturity, as the presence of open growth plates and secondary ossification centers and the more cartilaginous nature of pediatric bone impact the injury patterns and treatment ...
