This study presents health statistics for a specialized trauma department in a large pediatric hospital in St. Petersburg. Data relating to patients treated in the trauma department for any injuries and with injuries of the musculoskeletal system were analyzed separately. Injuries of the musculoskeletal system, accounted for 67.3% of all children hospitalized in the trauma department. We also identified patients with injuries of the musculoskeletal system who were treated in non-specialized departments of the hospital (accounting for 4.1% of patients in these departments). Detailed characteristics of the pediatric trauma departments, the characteristics of children hospitalized with injuries of the musculoskeletal system, methods for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation are described. The challenges of rehabilitation for children with injuries and the need to increase the hospital capacity are also described.
