TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Radiographic Evidence to Help Predict the Mechanism of Injury of Pediatric Spiral Fractures in Non-Accidental Injury JO - Injury extra A1 - Willett, Keith A1 - Teh, J A1 - O'Connor-Read, Laurence M. SP - 155 EP - 156 VL - 39 IS - 5 N2 - Spiral fractures are one of the most common fractures seen in non-accidental injury. In such cases, with radiographic evidence for the mechanism of injury, the physician is more capable of identifying any inconsistencies in the offered explanatory history. The objectives were to detail and differentiate the fracture patterns created by rotation forces in different directions and to determine the reliability of that recognition method applied to standard radiographs.
