Pediatric spine has growth potential with incomplete ossification, and also unique biomechanics which have important implications for trauma patients. This article intends to review various aspects of pediatric spine trauma including epidemiology, anatomy and biomechanics, and clinically relevant details of each type of injury based on the location and mechanism of injury. With the appropriate but not superfluous treatment, pediatric spine trauma patients can have better chance of recovery. Therefore, as a spine surgeon, understanding the general concept for each injury subtype together with the debate and progress in the field is inevitable.
小儿脊柱具有生长潜力且骨化不完全，同时具有独特的生物力学特性，这对创伤患者具有重要意义。本文旨在综述小儿脊柱创伤的各个方面，包括流行病学、解剖学和生物力学，以及基于损伤部位和机制的每种损伤类型的临床相关细节。通过适当但不过度的治疗，小儿脊柱创伤患者有更好的康复机会。因此，作为一名脊柱外科医生，了解每种损伤亚型的一般概念以及该领域的争论和进展是必不可少的。
