title: Hyoid bone position in children following neck injury.
abstract: Previously described radiographic signs of hyoid bone elevation, seen on the lateral radiograph, suggesting tracheal transection (Polansky et al., 1984) are present in uninjured children. These signs are therefore not reliable indicators of tracheal transection in children.
