title: Unique musculoskeletal trauma.
abstract: Pelvic and lower extremity insufficiency fracture in the osteoporotic individual, an approach to posttraumatic wrist instabilities, and certain upper and lower extremity pediatric fractures are discussed. The case material concentrates upon the clinical/radiographic recognition of subtle trauma and the multimodality approach to these unique traumatic musculoskeletal conditions. The impact that computed tomography has had on some of these traumatic conditions also is presented.
