- Title
Multiple unexplained fractures in infants – the need for clear thinking.
- Authors
Jenny, Carole
- Abstract
The article presents the author's views on multiple unexplained fractures in infants as discussed in some articles published in the previous issue of the journal. The author comments on one of the articles and believes that low vitamin D levels do not necessarily make the diagnosis of rickets or rule out the diagnosis of child abuse. She also comments on other views expressed by writers of other two articles and opines that there is a need of clear thinking in case of unexplained fractures.
