Hot off the press this week we tested out our newest game ‘Cards Against Paediatric Orthopaedics’ for our paediatric teaching day, based off our original adults version of the game. Minor injuries, especially with children, can be a challenging topic to learn.

We came up with 29 paediatric-themed minor injuries that are either common paediatric injuries (e.g. buckle fractures, supracondylar fractures), or less common/ones not to miss (e.g. Perthes or SUFE)!
