Conditions We Treat

Trauma

Despite trying to keep our kids safe, accidents happen. Whether it’s a minor cut, a broken bone, a life-threatening head injury or a traumatic wound, we can treat it. Trust that your child is in good hands with us, no matter how severe the trauma.

Injuries of All Types and Severities

Some of the most common types of traumatic injuries we treat are:

Burns and scalds
Falls
Fractures and broken bones
Head injuries and skull fractures
Injuries from motor vehicles, bicycles (including e-bikes) and ATV accidents
Wounds, particularly to the chest and abdomen

Urgent care and adult emergency rooms can’t meet the unique needs of children and adolescents with a traumatic injury. When your child is seen at a certified pediatric trauma center like Phoenix Children’s, you can trust that they are getting the best possible care. In fact, studies have shown that patients – those treated in pediatric trauma centers verified by the American College of Surgeons – have better outcomes, shorter lengths of stay and lower mortality rates.

Our capable teams will treat your child with skill and compassion, no matter the type or cause of injury. On what may be a terrifying day for your family, we stand equipped and ready.
