Epidemiology of Pediatric Traumatology (ETP)

Fractures have been shown to account for 10-25% of injuries in children and the consequences of pediatric fractures are significant and result in significant restriction of activity. Despite this, the epidemiology of pediatric fractures remains poorly detailed.

Investigators seek to establish the incidence of pediatric trauma and fractures and determine patient, trauma and injury characteristics.
