The latter can also be induced by an excessively tight abduction, when the scapula starts to rotate as well.

An exception to this may be a physeal frac- ture at the base of the first metatarsal cheap 60 pills rumalaya mastercard, usually a Salter-Harris type II injury discount rumalaya 60pills fast delivery, that may be seen in young adolescents and results from a fall from height. The apo- physis of the peroneus brevis can be seen as a vertically orientated ‘flake’ of bone adjacent to the base of the 5th metatarsal on foot radiographs of older children (Fig. The phalanges Fractures to the phalanges may be transverse, oblique or epiphyseal in nature and, with the exception of the distal phalanx of the great toe, have no obvious prognostic complications (Fig. The nail bed of the great toe is attached to the physeal plate of the distal phalanx and, as a result, forced flexion injuries (i. This type of injury provides a route for the spread of infection from the nail bed to the underlying bone (osteomyelitis) and antibiotic treatment should be prescribed as a preventative measure. The axial skeleton The cervical spine Traumatic injury to the paediatric cervical spine is rare as the neck is more flex- ible in children than in adults therefore allowing injury forces to spread along the length of the spine and reduce the likelihood of focal bony trauma6. If trauma does occur then it is likely to be concentrated in the upper cervical region (C1–C3) in children under 10 years of age. In older children, cervical spine trauma pat- terns mimic those seen in the adult patient. The injury mechanism for cervical 160 Paediatric Radiography Fig. Specific paediatric cervical spine injuries and their associated radi- ographic clues to diagnosis are described in Table 7. The radiographic projections of choice for imaging the cervical spine follow- ing injury are the antero-posterior projection of C3–C7 and C1–C3, and the lateral projection from which most diagnoses will be made (Fig. It is essential that the radiographs produced are of a high technical standard to facilitate accurate interpretation and prevent misdiagnosis. Clinical evaluation of the radiographs should include assessment of bony alignment (anterior and posterior vertebral body lines and spino-laminar line), evaluation of vertebral disc and body heights for anatomical consistency, assessment of the relationship between C1 and C2 Skeletal trauma 161 Fig. Injury description Radiographic diagnostic clues Fracture through ring of C1 Loss of bony alignment Bilateral overhanging of lateral masses of C1 on C2 seen on antero-posterior projection Computed tomography (CT) may be useful Torticollis Spine tilted and rotated on antero-posterior projection (head tilting towards painful side) Rotation of C1 on C2 on antero-posterior projection Rotational subluxation at the Rotational asymmetry of C1 lateral masses about odontoid peg atlanto-axial joint on antero-posterior projection Condition usually self-limiting but if it fails to resolve, CT may be useful for assessment purposes Odontoid peg fracture Results from acute hyperflexion (e. Note this positioning can create appearances of dislocation at the C2/C3/C4 level. The thoracolumbar spine Skeletal injuries to the thoracolumbar spine result from high-powered forces and, in children under the age of 10 years, the mechanisms of trauma are typically a fall from a height, motor vehicle accidents or non-accidental injury. In older chil- dren and adolescents sporting injuries and accidents involving motor vehicles (e. However, normal spinal development may result in apparent anterior wedging, particularly in the thoracic spine, and therefore the relative loss of ver- tebral height should be assessed in comparison to other neighbouring vertebrae. Severe axial compression can result in a ‘burst’ fracture of a lumbar vertebra with associated cord damage if backward movement (retropulsion) of the fracture Skeletal trauma 163 fragments into the spinal canal occurs. Fractures of the lumbar transverse processes result generally from direct trauma and may be associated with internal abdominal injuries (e. Identification of the psoas muscle shadow on the antero-posterior lumbar spine projection is important in these cases as obliteration of the psoas muscle shadow is suggestive of internal injury. Plain film radiographic examination of the thoracolumbar spine should include an antero-posterior and a lateral projection. If further imaging is re- quired then computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate spinal trauma and this should be undertaken, even if plain film radio- graphs are negative, if clinical suspicion of skeletal trauma is high as occult or unusual injury patterns may have apparently normal plain film radiographic appearances. However, the mortality rate and the risk of medical complications are relatively high and therefore all pelvic Fig. Note poor application of radiation protection obscures the area of interest. The adult pelvis is essentially a rigid structure and pelvic compression will result in bony injury with possible associated internal soft tissue damage. The paediatric pelvis contains a greater amount of cartilage and is, therefore, more elastic than the adult pelvis and resilient to bony injury6. As a result, compres- sion of the paediatric pelvis may not result in pelvic fractures but may still have associated internal soft tissue damage (e. Specific pelvic injuries, including their radiographic appearances and associated injuries, are listed in Table 7. Normal appearances and secondary ossification patterns of the paediatric pelvis can cause confusion and the radiographer should remember that the ju- venile symphysis pubis and sacroiliac joints are frequently wider than those seen in adults. The triradiate cartilage of the acetabulum and the asymmetrically prominent ischiopubic ossification centres may also cause confusion due to their irregular appearances. The radiographic projection of choice for initial evaluation of the pelvis is the antero-posterior projection with the femurs placed in internal rotation.
