About this
topic

Trauma takes up more programme time than any other topic at PULS 2026 — three full sessions distributed across both days, reflecting the clinical reality that paediatric upper limb trauma is the bread and butter of most attending surgeons.

Day 1 opens with the acute fracture spectrum: lateral condyle, Monteggia, forearm rotational fractures, paediatric hand fractures, and the time-critical pink pulseless hand. The afternoon turns to complications — physeal bars, post-traumatic contractures, compartment syndrome, and what's new in paediatric plasters.

Day 2 addresses delayed and late-presenting cases: delayed distal radius fractures, radial neck malunions, forearm synostosis, and the supracondylar fracture pitfalls that turn into long-term problems.
