Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In most countries, pediatric trauma represents the main cause of death of children.
The principles of trauma care remain the same both for children and adults, but the differences in care required for the optimal treatment of the injured child demand specific damage control. Approximately 60% of pediatric polytrauma patients have fractures of the upper and lower extremities; thus, the orthopedic surgeon plays an important role in the care of these patients.
This issue focuses on polytrauma in children and polytrauma-related skeletal injuries, on trauma in neonatal age, and on age-related imaging for diagnosis and follow-up. Another focus is on wound healing in children, with an emphasis on firecracker injuries, plastic surgery and keloid management.
