Is manual reduction effective for treating fractures in children?

The effectiveness of manual reduction for pediatric fractures is generally very good. Due to the strong growth potential and plasticity of children's bones, manual reduction can easily realign the fractured ends and promote healing. The specific steps of manual reduction include anesthesia, muscle relaxation, proper alignment, and traction; these require the physician to have extensive experience and skill to ensure accuracy and effectiveness. Most pediatric fractures can be successfully treated with manual reduction without significant sequelae. However, for certain complex or severe fractures, surgical reduction may be necessary. The specific treatment plan should be determined based on the type of fracture and the doctor's recommendations.
