Article Synopsis
- Traumatic elbow injuries are common among children and often lead to emergency department visits; a validated decision rule may help reduce unnecessary X-rays and radiation exposure in pediatric patients.
- This study is a multicentre prospective cohort design involving 400 children aged 2 to 17, where clinical parameters will be identified by experts and used to predict elbow fractures through patient history and physical exams.
- The research will follow ethical guidelines, not requiring formal approval, and focus on developing the paediatric elbow trauma (PET) rules to determine how many X-rays can be avoided while analyzing potential cost savings.
