Dr Tay Guan Tzu participated in Supermom’s Toddler Playbook event on 27 September 2025, where he gave a presentation to parents on how the treatment of fractures in children differs from that in adults.
He highlighted several key points:
- Growth plates in children, which influence bone development and healing.
- Faster healing times compared to adults.
- Greater remodelling ability of children’s bones during recovery.
These biological differences are important as they shape treatment approaches, influence recovery expectations, and affect long-term outcomes for children.
