Sticks and Stones: Primary Care Pathways for Pediatric Broken Bones

With fractures making up 25% of injuries in children, senior physician associate Jessica Treiber, PA-C, MPAS, MPH, wants to ensure pediatricians don’t miss the most common bone breaks; can readily determine whether surgical evaluation is warranted, including by ordering the right X-ray views; and can match treatments, such as braces and boots, to a child's needs and temperament. From the collarbone to the ankle, her tips cover how to scrutinize images, pick up on urgent or complicated fractures, and make sensible treatment plans by age group.
