The elbow however is susceptible to trauma due to impact from falls. Fractures in paediatric elbows are often difficult to diagnose due to subtle findings in unossified epiphyses. Fractures also potentially influence future growth and development. Awareness of normal growth and development and the trauma patterns is useful to diagnose fractures and there complications. Learning objectives: Improve understanding of paediatric elbow trauma to increase diagnostic accuracy in interpreting paediatric elbow radiographs.L6189767022017-11-01 | DOI: | 10.1111/1754-9485.2-12656 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L618976702&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1754-9485.2-12656 | | Keywords: | diagnostic test accuracy study;elbow injury;epiphysis;fracture;learning;complication;X ray film;awarenesschild;range of motion;development;diagnosis;diagnostic accuracy | Type: | Article |
