Pediatric Orthopedics FAQ
If your child has swelling, bruising, severe pain, a visible deformity or cannot use the injured area, they should be evaluated. An exam and X-ray can confirm whether it’s a fracture.
Pediatric fracture care treats broken bones in children and teens. Because kids’ bones are still growing, treatment is designed to help them heal properly and protect future growth.
Most fractures heal without long-term problems. Injuries involving growth plates need careful monitoring to ensure normal bone development.
Your child’s provider will examine the injury and usually order an X-ray. In some cases, MRI or CT scans are used to look more closely at the bone or growth plate.
Many fractures can be treated with a splint or cast. Some bones need to be gently moved back into position before casting. Surgery is only needed for certain injuries.
A closed reduction straightens a broken bone without surgery. Afterward, a cast or splint keeps the bone in place while it heals.
A fracture clinic provides focused follow-up care for broken bones, including exams, X-rays, cast care and recovery planning. Find us at:

Surgery may be needed if the bone is badly out of place, unstable or involves a growth plate. Your care team will explain all options before recommending surgery.
Some fractures are treated with small pins, plates, screws or rods to hold the bone in place while it heals. These procedures are performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons.
Percutaneous pinning uses small pins placed through the skin to help keep broken bones aligned during healing.
ORIF is a surgery where the bone is realigned through a small incision and securedwith plates or screws.
Healing time depends on the bone and injury, but many fractures heal within 4 to 8 weeks. Younger children often heal faster than adults.
Your child will have follow-up visits to monitor healing. Casts may be changed or removed, and pins may be taken out once the bone is healed.
Some children need physical or occupational therapy to regain strength and movement, especially after surgery or more serious injuries.
Children heal differently than adults. Pediatric orthopedic specialists focus on growth, healing and long-term movement—not just the injury itself. Some injuries may require follow-up for years as a child grows to make sure they do not develop a problem. We want to catch a problem when its small. Small problems get small solutions. Allowing a big problem to occur may require a big intervention to correct it.
In addition to fractures, pediatric orthopedic care includes sports injuries, joint problems, spine conditions and other bone and muscle concerns.
