Abstract
Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the paediatric population1. Available epidemiological data on paediatric lower limb trauma are scarce2,3. The International Lower Limb Collaborative (INTELLECT) study aimed to describe the treatment and outcomes of these injuries from a global perspective. The authors present an analysis of the paediatric population included in the INTELLECT study, representing the largest global study on paediatric open lower limb trauma.Keywords
