Is CT useful in the traumatized pediatric elbow?
Recently six radiographic criteria were presented which, when present, indicated that additional imaging of the traumatized adult elbow by means of CT was useful. We applied these 6 criteria to 10 cases of trauma to the pediatric elbow. CT evaluation will not change the therapy dictated by the clinical findings and conventional radiography.
