title: Radiographic appearance of healed extremity fractures in children with spinal cord lesions.
abstract: The radiographic changes of healed extremity fractures in eight children with spinal cord lesions included cortical thinning and metaphyseal splaying. A history of a spinal cord lesion such as meningomyelocele should alert the radiologist to the possibility of a healed fracture causing metaphyseal flaring.
