    AbstractDeep knowledge of characteristic features of the growing skeleton is necessary for effective treatment of fractures in the pediatric population. The first part of emergency treatment of pediatric fractures involves immobilisation and appropriate pain management. In addition reduction of the fracture, either open or closed, with or without internal or external fixation are further treatment options used by the experienced pediatric surgeon. Generally, the principles of therapy of pediatric polytrauma are similar to the management of trauma in adults (ATLS). Nonetheless, attention must be paid to anatomical and physiological differences especially between young children and adults.
