- Title
A possible mechanism for accidental humeral fractures in infants.
- Authors
Jenny, Carole
- Abstract
The author reflects on the article "Humeral fracture in nonambulant infants-a possible accidental mechanism" by J. M. Somers, K. E. Halliday and S. Chapman. She finds the developmental status of infants as the most convincing factor presented by the authors. She considers the absence of knowledge regarding the bone biomechanics of infant as an additional dilemma. She points out the difficulty in making the final diagnosis among infants with injury.
