Abstract
Severe pediatric trauma can be complicated for clinicians to manage because it is unusual and behaves somewhat differently from severe trauma in adults. Damage control orthopaedics is a philosophy that has gained traction in the past 30 years and has become standard in unstable adult trauma patients. Studies have failed to demonstrate clear utility for this approach in pediatric patients. Clinicians should understand the concepts of early total care and damage control orthopaedics for the patient with polytrauma, the physiologic factors associated with trauma in both children and adults who sustain severe trauma, and the role of early total care versus damage control orthopaedics in the treatment of the pediatric patient with polytrauma.
