Children's fractures : a radiological guide to safe practice

See all formats and editions

This is a highly practical, inexpensive x-ray atlas, which covers the common injuries in children presenting to the A & E department.

It provides guidance on: radiological interpretation of films, with an atlas layout; the incidence of fractures at different ages; appropriate films for suspected injuries; and diagnostic pitfalls due to radiographic appearances.

In addition, the inclusion of brief technical notes ensure safe practice, i.e. the correct positioning and handling of an injured child; correct requests for x-rays from the radiographers.

If a child is mismanaged, the outcome can be extremely serious, and even result in permanent disability.
