2024 Friday Quiz 38 Answer

A skeletal survey performed after diagnosing the skull fracture shows additional evidence of non-accidental trauma, including healing rib fractures (yellow arrows), a healing transverse fracture of the proximal ulna (pink arrow), a healing metaphyseal corner fracture of the right femur (orange arrow), and metaphyseal corner fractures of the proximal and distal tibia (arrowheads). Skull fractures in infants are associated with nonaccidental trauma. Specific fractures of nonaccidental trauma include metaphyseal corner fractures, posterior rib fractures, and fractures of different ages.
