TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Mid-ileal stricture and spinal injury sustained by a 7 year old child restrained by a lap seat belt involved in a motor vehicle accident JO - Australian and New Zealand journal of surgery A1 - Sripathi, V. A1 - King, P. A. SP - 640 EP - 641 VL - 61 IS - 8 N2 - Lap belts are a feature of the middle seat occupant in the rear seat of most Australian family cars. Without the provision of a child harness, they are inadequate to restrain children under eight years of age. We report a motor vehicle accident involving a seven year old child wearing an adult lap belt which resulted in an ileal stricture and a potentially unstable distraction injury of the lumbar spine.
