title: Is CT useful in the traumatized pediatric elbow?
abstract: 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.
