Abstract
- Pediatric foot and ankle fractures are common in athletic participation. Treatment of pediatric sports trauma must take into account the unique challenges this population presents, and aim to minimize long-term complications. Given the excellent remodeling potential of pediatric bone, conservative treatment can often be used. However, a thorough understanding of physeal anatomy, fracture patterns, and biomechanics is needed to guide treatment choice and determine when surgical intervention is warranted.
