Introduction

This episode of the OrthoBullets podcast will go over the topic of physeal considerations from the Pediatric section on orthobolids.com. Unique principles in pediatric bone include elasticity and remodeling potential. The most active physes in the upper extremity include the proximal humerus and the distal radius. With respect to distal tibia, know that lateral ligament sprains are more common than salt or Harris-1 fractures in pediatric ankle and version injuries.
