Abstract
It is important to focus on common pediatric fractures seen in community emergency rooms, including supracondylar humerus, elbow, forearm, distal radius, and femoral shaft fractures, along with periarticular fractures around the knee and ankle in children. The principles of surgical and nonsurgical management of these fractures are based on the fracture type and age of the patient. The orthopaedic surgeon should be aware of important tips and tricks to help manage these injuries and be familiar with common complications that may occur when these injuries are encountered during trauma call.
