Multiple skeletal lesions in young childrendue to trauma

The radiographic bone lesions are subperiosteal ossification, metaphyseal fractures, avulsions, gross fractures, impacting fractures, impacted fractures, and epiphyseal displacements in infants and young children.

Abstract

Summary 1.Traumatic lesions of the bones arecommon in infants and young children. 2.History of a traumatic episodeis often not obtained. 3.The clinical manifestations are generally mild and easily overlooked. 4.The radiographic bone lesions are subperiosteal ossification, metaphyseal fractures, avulsions, gross fractures, impacted fractures, and epiphyseal displacements. 5.The outcome is good unless thegrowing cartilage has been injured.
