Fractures
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to use, in a precise manner, defined radiographic semiological criteria to determine an analytical methodology to facilitate the dating of long bone fractures of infants under one year of age. A total of 99 radiographs of infants under one year of age with long bone fractures of known date were studied. Four dating groups were established on the basis of data in the literature, with the aim of developing predictive models based on well-defined semiological criteria, in order to construct a simplified dating decision tree.
