Question
My child, around 5 years old, has been complaining of leg pain lately without any apparent reason. Why can’t children use their knees after falling?
Answer
It’s easy for children to fracture their knees after a fall, so they should not exert force on them. They can have trace element tests done to see if there are any deficiencies and should be supplemented accordingly. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect the patient’s quality of life. Patients need to focus not only on symptomatic treatment but also on daily care. They should rest more, strengthen nutrition, and avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
