Extremity injuries in children: predictive value of clinical findings.

This study sought to identify clinical predictors of extremity fracture in children with trauma. There were 189 children 1 to 15 years of age with 209 extremity injuries seen during a 9-month period. Gross deformity and point tenderness were the best predictors of upper extremity fracture; these two findings correctly identified 81% of children with fractures and 82% of these without fractures. Gross deformity and pain on motion best predicted lower extremity fracture, with 97% of children with fractures correctly identified. The study showed that physical examination is predictive of fractures in extremity injuries of children, regardless of age. In the absence of the specific physical findings identified by the study, the probability of diagnosing a fracture by roentgenographic findings is low.

Adult scurvy.

Scurvy is a disease that can mimic other more serious disorders such as deep vein thrombosis, vasculitis, and systemic bleeding disorders. Because the clinical features of scurvy are no longer well appreciated, scorbutic patients are often extensively evaluated for other disorders. Familiarity with the risk factors for and clinical manifestation of scurvy can facilitate earlier diagnosis. We report three patients who highlight the epidemiology, clinical features, and differential diagnosis of scurvy.
