Wirbelsäulentrauma im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Verletzungen der Wirbelsäule bei Kindern sind selten. Die Art, die Lokalisation des Traumas sowie die zugrunde liegenden Ursachen variieren mit dem Lebensalter. Anatomische Charakteristika stellen besondere Herausforderungen an die Diagnostik und Therapie. Aufgrund der biomechanischen Besonderheiten der heranwachsenden Wirbelsäule können im Vergleich zum Erwachsenen etablierte Therapien nicht undifferenziert übernommen werden.
