Pediatric Orthopedic Resources

In addition to the resources in this post, please see my post Pediatric Orthopedics: Fundamentals of Peds Fracture Care From TREKK for some links to outstanding pediatric fracture guidelines from the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne. Together these two posts provide a great review and resource for primary care management of pediatric orthopedics and fracture care.

Here are three  excellent resources for pediatric orthopedics. The first is the Paediatric Fractures Guidelines, the second is the Pediatric Fracture Education Module which includes a very useful Implementation Pack, and finally a series of Pediatric Casting Videos. All are from the guidelines of the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne below. See links in next bracketed paragraph.

[There are also approx two hundred excellent pediatric guidelines available from the Clinical Practice Guidelines of the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne. In addition on the above page, there is an smart phone app link available so that you can download the guidelines and view them off line.]
