Imaging of pediatric musculoskeletal trauma: Age-specific considerations and challenges

Figure 9 7-year-old girl who had a fall onto outstretched arm while playing in a play-park. A: Focal bowing of the radius in the mid-diaphysis is seen on the frontal radiograph. Associated bowing of the proximal ulna in a plane perpendicular to the radial bow. Radial head is in joint; B: Note how in the lateral projection on the right, the image is aligned with the plane of the bow, and thus the bone looks entirely normal[37]. Citation: Jones J.
