There are several types of implants used in pediatric orthopedics, including plates, screws, rods, and nails. Each type has specific applications depending on the condition being treated. For instance, plates and screws are often used in fracture fixation, while rods and nails might be implemented for long bone stabilization. Some implants are specifically designed for correction of deformities like scoliosis, using growth-friendly devices that adjust as the child grows.
