Fractures in children differ from adults with many healing rapidly. Greenstick fractures are common and deformities often correct as a child grows. Epiphyseal separations are hard to treat, while prevention remains best. For osgood schlatter and related conditions, nonweight bearing casts or braces until growth ends around age 15 usually leads to full recovery.

This Sparrow Likes Florida Climate
