Session information
- Title:
- [Retired] Soft Tissue and Bony Injuries in Children
- Description:
- Paediatric injuries can be very different from those sustained in adults in many respects. This session discusses why this is the case and outlines the general principles of treating paediatric injuries. A factor to always be aware of is the possibility of non-accidental injury (NAI) as a cause of the presentation of a child with an injury or fracture. Important features of NAI will be briefly discussed.
