A big part of learning about pediatrics is understanding different musculoskeletal disorders in children. Rather than going through each of these using the full Straight A Nursing LATTE method, I’ve provided a concise summary of a wide range of conditions:

* Soft tissue injuries and fractures

* Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)

* Skeletal limb deficiencies

* Osteogenesis imperfecta

* Legg-Calve-Perthes

* Slipped capital femoral epiphysis

* Spinal curvature disorders

* Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

* Achondroplasia

* Osteochondroma and osteosarcoma

* And more!

You can read this information and view references in the articles "Pediatric Soft Tissue Injuries and Fractures" and "Musculoskeletal Disorders in Children".
