Abstract

Fractures in children are a common emergency and often leave many complications. Complications have early complications and late complications. Early complications such as compartment syndrome, damage to blood vessels, nerves... Late complications such as infection, displacement after fracture… Fractures represent many types of injuries that share common features of fractures. These categories range from penetrating wounds from the inside out to more extensive wounds, representing high energy trauma; Significant damage to surrounding tissues (skin, subcutaneous layer, muscle structures, tendons, and nerve vessels) must be observed. Fracture management involves a series of principle-based steps to guide initial emergency management, followed by chiropractic management, and finally rehabilitation. Recognizing and implementing the management principles of Improving Life After Trauma is important to integrate into the approach. Ultimately, the goal is to stop the development of infection, heal fractures, and restore function of the limbs. Clinical with fracture management principles based on a combination of historical and traditional experience, basic science, and clinical research evidence. Advances in post-traumatic musculoskeletal care have led to evolution over time in what is accepted as the standard of care and rehabilitation of the limb. Advances in antibiotics, implantation and immobilization methods, reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections. Cost-effective care has created the need for a reassessment of standards practice fracture.
