title: [Physical therapy within the scope of fracture treatment in children. Recommendations of the Traumatology in Childhood Study Group].
abstract: Physiotherapeutic follow-up treatment is required only in exceptional cases of fractures in childhood. Physiotherapeutic indications are justified for fractures with months of immobilisation, multiple fractures, fractures accompanied by soft-tissue defects and nerve injuries, vertebral fractures, fractures and craniocerebral trauma, and fractures entailing the risk of bone necrosis. Passive exercises are not at all indicated.
