Asirdizer M., Zeyfeoglu Y.

Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine, 2005; 12(2): 93-7.

ABSTRACT:

Femoral and tibial fractures can occur from accidents, child abuse or pathological causes. It is often very difficult to distinguish the cause among those cases. Radiological diagnosis is needed for clinicians and medical examiners in order to assist determining the reason of fractures.

In this report, we submit a case with femoral and tibial fractures associated with myelomeningocele. This patient was evaluated as a child abuse by clinicians. On review it was decided that her fractures were not because of non-accidental injury. The values of bone mineral density of the upper limb were low and illness caused her fractures.

Key words: Femur fracture, tibia fracture, child abuse, myelomeningocele, and bone mineral density.
