  • Title: [Fracture in polytraumatized children (author's transl)].
    Author: Daum R.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir; 1976 Nov 15; 342():323-8. PubMed ID: 994650.
    Abstract:
    The appropriateness of surgical therapy in polytraumatized children is influenced by a series of facts, such as severe additional injuries, the age of the child, type and localization of the fracture etc. Fractures of the neck of the femur and fractures involving extensive injuries of soft tissue are an indication for immediate operative treatment. Transepiphyseal fractures and fractures in cases of additional cerebral contusion are an indication for early treatment. Fractures of the forearm or the lower leg are treated conservatively after the stabilization of circulation (wiring, plaster cast).
