Pediatric Shoulder Trauma

Radiographs in shoulder trauma.

It is difficult to establish the diagnosis of an injured shoulder if only one radiographic projection is used. We have compared two lateral projections, the Neer trans-scapular and the apical oblique in 80 patients; the radiographs were presented randomly to 10 casualty officers and nine radiologists. The apical oblique view was found to permit more accurate diagnosis of fractures and of disloc...

Pediatric craniofacial trauma: challenging pediatric cases-craniofacial trauma.

The pediatric population, as well as the adult population, is subject to similar injuries and traumatic events involving the craniofacial skeleton. Although less frequent than adult injuries, the craniofacial injuries sustained by children are considered separately in textbooks and the literature because of the special unique problems associated with their treatment and the effects they might h...

Nuances in pediatric trauma.

Pediatric trauma evaluation mimics adult stabilization in that it is best accomplished with a focused and systematic approach. Attention to developmental differences, anatomic and physiologic nuances, and patterns of injury equip emergency physicians to stabilize and manage pediatric injury.

Pediatric Spine Trauma

Although pediatric spine traumas are seen less compared to adults, they display particular anatomical differences and biomechanical behaviors. They also differ in themselves from infancy to early childhood. All these differences cause some difficulty in diagnosis. Also the treatment procedures may require a different approach than they would for adults. In this study, main topics regarding diag...
