Break, Crack or Fracture – They’re all dangerous!
Fractures can be serious. While a fracture can sound less intense than a break or crack, they have similar effects and require the same treatment of any bone injury. When your child has sustained injury from falling off their bike, kicking the ball too hard or experiencing a bad fall, it’s important to get them checked out for a fracture as soon as possible.\
Children require special attention in fracture care. Their growing bones are more flexible than adults, which make children more susceptible to fractures. Untreated, pediatric fractures can affect your child’s bone growth and function. If you suspect your child has a fracture, meet with one of our doctors or physician assistants today.
