The mechanism of shoulder injuries that occur in children is different from that of adults. Despite similar causes of injuries (fall on the shoulder, impact), bone growth plate in children causes the appearance of rare and unique forms of shoulder injuries, and their surgical treatment requires specialized techniques.
The most common shoulder injuries in children include: shoulder dislocation, rupture of the labrum, multidirectional instability and the so-called “Little League’s elbow”. The most common symptoms of shoulder injuries are swelling, soreness and reduced joint mobility.
Treatment of the injury consists of the RICE method (rest, ice, compression and elevation) and immobilization. For this purpose, the AM-KOB children’s shoulder-clavicle orthosis will be perfect, which will perfectly protect the damaged shoulder immediately after the injury and surgery.
