Open fracture of one, that is, tip of the bones out of the skin, wounds, broken bones or communicates with the outside world. Because children are not explicitly providing history, sometimes not clinical manifestations, which may be missed. So parents need to be aware than activity in children, and when the physical skeletal pain, is required to consider whether there is a fracture, timely treatment.

Diet, should be appropriate to increase the calcium rich foods such as milk and milk products, and kelp, shrimp, seaweed, sea products such as dried fish FLOSS; bean and green leafy vegetables, and so on.
