[Fracture classification-part 1 : Modern low-dose radiation imaging in pediatric traumatology].

CONCLUSIONS: In addition to conventional x‑rays, fracture sonography is becoming increasingly important for the detection of fractures in children. In the upper extremity, a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 97% can be achieved for some fracture entities, e.g., at the distal forearm. Computed tomography is used restrictively but plays an important role in a few special indications for polytraumatized children and preoperative assessment, e.g., in the case of transitional fractures.
