[Clinical and radiographic diagnosis of fractures in childhood (author's transl)]. 1976

H Ecke

The diagnostic procedure followed in cases of childhood fractures consists of positive identification of the fracture type (greenstick, complete, or open fracture) and also determination of the degree and age-specific tolerance limit of axis deviations. This diagnostic procedure also includes decisions concerning indications for operative or conservative therapy, and lays great emphasis on the identification of epiphysial injuries. If function is to be fully restored, the extent of injuries must be rapidly determined. Long-term injuries are identified at follow-up examinations and can then be corrected surgically.
