  • Common signs of a broken bone are a bump or change in shape of the bone, intense pain, bruising, or swelling.
  • Children's bones are more flexible and have a thicker covering; making them harder to break and faster at healing.
  • Children usually do better during medical procedures when prepared ahead of time, so let your child know what to expect.
