It is normal for children to sustain injuries while indulging in physical activities and sports. Each time a fracture occurs, the child’s bone is broken either partially or completely.

A child can also sustain either open or closed fracture. When a closed fracture occurs, the child’s skin remains intact despite break in bone. On the other hand, the bone breaks through the skin each time an open fracture occurs.

Causes The risk of fractures increases as a child grows.

Boys are more likely to sustain fractures than girls.

Fracture occurs each time a child applies more force on his bone and the bone fails to absorb the additional force. Normally, a child’s bone breaks due to trauma falls or direct blow.

Also, both open and closed fracture may occur due to obesity, inadequate calcium intake and poor nutrition. The children with fracture history are more prone to break bones in future. Hence, the cause of fracture differs from child to another.
