A child's fracture, healed straight.

Children's bones heal and grow differently from adults'. A fracture in a growing child needs treatment chosen with that growth in mind, so the bone mends in good alignment and keeps developing as it should.

Many children's fractures heal well without surgery — held in a cast or splint while nature does the rest. When a procedure is needed, it is planned gently and for a growing body.

Care is explained to the family, with follow-up over time to make sure the bone heals straight and growth stays on track.
