A highly practical, inexpensive x-ray atlas which covers the common injuries in children presenting to the A & E department. It provides guidance on:
* radiological interpretation of films, with an atlas layout
* the incidence of fractures at different ages
* appropriate films for suspected injuries
* diagnostic pitfalls due to radiographic appearances

In addition, the inclusion of brief technical notes ensure safe practice, i.e. the correct positioning and handling of an injured child; correct requests for x-rays from the radiographers. If a child is mismanaged the outcome can be extremely serious and even result in permanent disability.

Highlights the way in which children's injuries differ from adults

A superb selection of images collected by the authors over a period of 15 years

Emphasis on safe practice and enables the reader to avoid film duplication and misinterpretation

Lists of commom and uncommon injuries at differenct ages will be provided

An "immediate action" paragraph is included for each fracture (i) as a guide to whether and how urgently expert advice is needed and (ii) so parents can be informed as to the likely treatment
