- Title
Child abuse and the legal system: the orthopaedic surgeon's role in diagnosis.
- Authors
Sullivan, Christopher M
- Abstract
Orthopaedic surgeons have unique training and experience in diagnosis of fractures, both accidental and nonaccidental. That experience is valuable in identifying physical child abuse and in avoiding false accusations or convictions. Both aspects are important to the welfare of children and their families. The events that follow a report of child abuse are outside the training and experience of most orthopaedic surgeons.
