| الملخص: | Diagnosis of non accidental injury needs careful history elicitation, proper examination and thorough workup including blood
investigation and radiological assessment to avoid misdiagnosis or under diagnosis. Correct diagnosis and reporting would avoid
possible similar incidents in the future. Four-year-old female child brought to our hospital by her mother with apparent history of fall
from height. Following detailed examination and radiological assessment we suspected of child abuse. Child had multiple fractures
in different stages of healing which included bilateral intertrochanteric fractures. Child was operated for bilateral intertrochanteric
fractures which appeared relatively fresh compared to other old malunited fractures with open reduction and fixation with titanium
elastic nailing and was immobilized by hip spica. Two months postoperatively, there was complete radiological union of fractures
and child was being counseled by child psychologist. |
