Bones - Abusive Skeletal Trauma•72% of fractures were without bruising within one week of the injury
•It is normal for children to have fractures without bruises
•“The presence or absence of bruising does not make the fracture more or less likely from abuse.”
Mathew et al, BMJ, 1998
Page 44
xxx00.#####.ppt 3/11/2019 2:24:35 PMPediatrics
Skeletal Trauma•50-75% of all abusive skeletal trauma occurs in <1 year olds
•Up to 45% of abusive skeletal injuries are clinically unsuspected
•Most common abusive fracture is a mid-shaft, long bone fracture
•Many fractures are common in both abusive and accidental injuries (appropriate history is the key)
