Important points about a fracture in a child


  • A fracture is a break in the bone that might be partial or complete.
  • A fracture occurs when added force is applied to the bone than the bone can absorb. Overuse injuries fall, trauma or a direct strike to the body can all cause it.
  • A child with a broken bone may have pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving the injured area.
  • Treatment may comprise a cast or splint, pain medicine, or surgery.
