X-ray diagnostics of fractures in childhood and adolescence-Consensus report of the scientific working group of the pediatric traumatology section of the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU)
Abstract
For decades projection radiography has been the standard in the diagnostics of fractures and injuries, including patients in childhood and adolescent; however, each examination with X‑rays should also be based on an individual assessment of the benefits and risks. The pediatric traumatology section of the DGU has developed a consensus paper on various aspects of imaging for diagnostics and assessment of progression, on setting options for intraoperative imaging, on X‑ray imaging of the opposite side, on polytrauma and computed tomography (CT), on postoperative radiological checks and the use of sonography after an accident.
Seit Jahrzehnten ist die Projektionsradiographie Standard in der Diagnostik von Frakturen und Verletzungen auch bei Patienten im Kindes- und Jugendalter. Bei jeder Untersuchung mit Röntgenstrahlen sollen aber auch individuell Nutzen und Risiko gegeneinander abgewogen werden. Die Sektion Kindertraumatologie der DGU hat zu verschiedenen Aspekten der Bildgebung zu Diagnostik und Verlaufsbeurteilung, zu Einstellungsmöglichkeiten der intraoperativen Bildgebung, zum Röntgen der Gegenseite, zu Polytrauma und CT, zu postoperativen radiologischen Kontrollen und dem Einsatz der Sonographie ein Konsenspapier erarbeitet.
