Since the bones and joints need to function well for many decades to come, the effects of injuries are more serious in very young patients. However, the&nbsp;<strong>healing potential<\/strong>&nbsp;of children is of course high, a factor which the attending physician should assess in the best possible way. When estimating the potential for correction, e.g. after bone fractures, the calendar age of the child plays only a subordinate role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead,&nbsp;<strong>\u201cbone age\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;is a more relevant factor. This is also the case for surgical interventions after injuries that affect the&nbsp;<strong>growth plates<\/strong>. The age of the bones can be determined by means of an&nbsp;<strong>x-ray of the left hand<\/strong>, which will be carried out at at the practice or the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gelenkpunkt.com\/en\/about-us\/privatklinik-hochrum\">Privatklinik Hochrum<\/a>&nbsp;private hospital if needed.
