Paediatric trauma refers to injuries affecting children that require medical assessment and, where appropriate, orthopaedic treatment. These injuries may result from accidents, falls, sports or other trauma.

Every child's injury is assessed individually by the treating medical team, who determine the appropriate course of evaluation and care based on the child's condition.

Care is planned around the child, with assessment guiding every next step.
