Children have an immature skeleton, so a child has all of the following except:
1. Increased resilience to stress.
2. Shorter healing times.
3. Thinner periosteum.
4. Higher incidence of tendon and ligament issues.
4
Feedback
1. Children have a higher resilience to stress because the skeleton has not reached full calcification.
2. Children have decreased healing times because of the rapid growth process of children.
3. The thinner periosteum allows for bone to handle pressure and bend instead of break.
4. Children do not have as high a rate of tendon and ligament issues as adults.
