EDUCATIONAL NEED

Treating severe lower extremity injuries in children requires a rapid response with a multidisciplinary approach and will often utilize a combination of pediatric and adult techniques. Many pediatric foot and ankle injuries overlap with their adult counterparts. However, distinct attributes of the pediatric skeleton, especially in the presence of growth plates, can translate into injury patterns and complications that differ from those of adults. Providers must be competent in these distinctions to ensure their patients' best possible outcome and long-term functionality. This session will discuss the unique anatomy of the pediatric foot and ankle and best-practice guidelines for evaluating and treating traumatic injuries in the young population.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the importance of rapid response in the trauma setting.
  • Discuss the importance of a multi-team approach to trauma.
  • Describe the long-term ramifications of severe lower extremity injuries.
