Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence and locations of fractures in children under 2 years suspected of abuse using skeletal surveys at a children's hospital.
- Out of 930 children analyzed, 34% had fractures, with long bones, ribs, and skull being the most common sites; rare fractures occurred in the spine, pelvis, hands, and feet.
- The findings suggest that routine skeletal surveys could potentially exclude views of less frequently fractured areas (like the spine and hands) to reduce radiation exposure and costs without impacting diagnosis or care.
