#283: Pediatric Musculoskeletal NCLEX Review

A big part of learning about pediatrics is understanding different musculoskeletal disorders in children. Rather than going through each of these using the full Straight A Nursing LATTE method, I’ve provided a concise summary of a wide range of conditions:

• Soft tissue injuries and fractures
• Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
• Skeletal limb deficiencies
• Osteogenesis imperfecta
• Legg-Calve-Perthes
• Slipped capital femoral epiphysis
• Spinal curvature disorders
• Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
• Achondroplasia
• Osteochondroma and osteosarcoma
• And more!

You can read this information and view references in the articles “Pediatric Soft Tissue Injuries and Fractures” and “Musculoskeletal Disorders in Children“.
