AB Accurate  diagnosis  of  injuries  to  the  growth  plate  in  extremity  injuries  is  critical  to  avoiding  growth  arrest  in  pediatric  extremity  injuries.Vascular  injuries  are  associated  with  knee  and  elbow  injuries.  Patients  with  stable  orthopaedic  injuries  should  undergo  repair  of  the  vascular  injury  first.  With  unstable  injuries,  temporary  arterial  bypass  can  provide  time  for  stabilization  of  the  bony  injury  followed  by  definitive  vascular  repair.In  children,  compartment  syndrome  is  characterized  by  analgesia,  agitation,  and  anxiety.  Normal  pulses  and  capillary  refill  do  not  rule  out  compartment  syndrome.
