Frequency of intrathoracic injuries in children younger than 3 years with rib fractures
2014
Background
Research documents that among children admitted to trauma intensive care units the number of rib fractures sustained indicates the child’s likelihood of having and severity of intrathoracic injury. This has been misused in court to argue that children with multiple rib fractures who lack intrathoracic injury have abnormal bone fragility rather than inflicted injury.
