How can I find treatment of Pediatric Fractures?
Pediatric bones are significantly more porous, less dense, and penetrated throughout by the capillary channels when compared to adult bones. They have a lower bending strength, lower modulus of elasticity, and lower mineral content. The lower bending strength causes more strain in the pediatric bone than the same stress on an adult bone, and the lower modulus of elasticity allows a greater energy absorption before failure.
