[Femoral Fractures in Children Younger than Two Years. Are We Considering Abusive Etiology?].

Purpose Of The Study: The primary aim is to assess the proportion of children younger than two years with a femoral fracture who underwent a skeletal survey. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate the patients' demographics, reported trauma mechanism, type of fracture, type of treatment and complication rate. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of children younger than two years examined at the Department of Imaging Methods for a femoral fracture between 2015-2022.

Occult fractures detected on radiographs in young children with a concern for abusive head trauma.

Aims: To determine the incidence of children < 2 years old with suspected abusive head trauma, to evaluate usage of dedicated skeletal radiographs and the incidence of clinically occult fractures on dedicated skeletal radiographs.

Methods: This is a retrospective single centre study of children < 2 years old with traumatic brain injury, referred to the University Hospital's Social Services Department between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2020.
