AB  - The  anatomy  of  the  pediatric  musculoskeletal  system  is  unique  and  reflects  the  active  growth  and  development  that  occurs  during  childhood.  Fracture  classification,  treatment  approach,  and  types  of  complications  are  directly  related  to  this  unique  anatomy.  In  general,  both  injury  patterns  and  treatment  approaches  in  children  in  whom  closure  of  the  physes  (growth  plates)  has  already  occurred  is  similar  to  those  of  the  adult.  Therefore,  the  major  focus  of  this  chapter  is  directed  at  injuries  occurring  in  the  prepubescent  child  with  open  physes.  In  addition,  diseases  specific  to  children  that  cause  nontraumatic  musculoskeletal  complaints  are  covered.
