Pediatric Trauma
Pediatric trauma refers to physical injuries sustained by children, often resulting from accidents, falls, or violence. Common causes include motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and household falls. Due to their developing bodies, children may experience different injury patterns compared to adults, making prompt and specialized medical care essential.
Treatment for pediatric trauma typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including pediatricians, surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists. The goal is to address both the physical and emotional needs of the child. Early intervention can help prevent long-term complications and support recovery, ensuring the child can return to normal activities as soon as possible.
