Vertebral Fractures in Children

1. Spinal fractures in children are less common compared to adults. This is because children’s vertebrae have more elasticity.

   The most frequent cause of the spinal injuries and vertebral fractures are accidents, such as from automobile collisions, falling from heights, and sport injuries.

   Stress fractures are overuse injuries resulting from repeated overloading of the spine.
