Patient's question:
Does pediatric fractures have a significant impact on the future? What specific effects do they have? How can such an impact be increased?Doctor's answer:
If a child's fracture is not treated actively, it may lead to malunion of the fracture ends, affecting the limb function and aesthetics in adulthood. If the fracture is at the metaphyseal epiphyseal plate, it may also affect bone growth and development. To minimize the impact of the fracture on the child, it is necessary to seek standardized treatment at a regular hospital orthopedics department promptly, follow medical advice for regular follow-up examinations post-surgery, and undergo postoperative functional exercises to maximize the recovery of function.
