    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Orthopaedics
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Degloving injuries are uncommon but serious pediatric traumas.
    • These injuries are increasingly seen in children, often associated with fractures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review experience with degloving injuries in children.
    • To highlight the importance of diagnosing and managing both typical and concealed degloving injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • A 5-year retrospective review of pediatric patients with degloving injuries and fractures.
    • Analysis of injury mechanisms, types of degloving, and management outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Sixteen pediatric patients with degloving injuries associated with fractures were identified.
    • Twelve patients had typical anatomical degloving; six had concealed (physiological) degloving.

  • Motor vehicle and farm machinery accidents were the most common causes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt diagnosis and management of degloving injuries, particularly those with fractures, are essential in pediatric cases.
    • Distinguishing between typical and concealed degloving is critical for appropriate treatment.
    • Effective management strategies are necessary to minimize morbidity and prevent limb loss in children.
