Fractures in children have different sequelae depending on the location and severity of the fracture. In mild cases, there may be no obvious sequelae, but there may be sequelae that affect the child’s height, limb movement, joint function, disability and deformity, etc. Most of the fractures in children have a good prognosis.
Compared with adults, children’s fracture healing speed is fast, plastic ability is strong, and timely and correct surgery, reduction and other treatments generally have a good prognosis, and may not even have obvious sequelae.
However, if the fracture occurs in the joint area, it may lead to poor repositioning, poor fixation, and restriction of joint movement; if the fracture of the lower limb backbone is not properly diagnosed and treated, it may lead to asymmetry of the left and right sides, and limp; and spinal fracture may injure the spinal cord and nerves, which may lead to paralysis in severe cases, and so on.
Therefore, the location of the fracture, the severity, and the means of diagnosis and treatment may affect the prognosis, but timely and active diagnosis and treatment can minimize the occurrence of sequelae.
