| Popis: | The purpose of imaging of the elbow region in children after acute trauma is the diagnosis of injuries that require further treatment. Basic diagnostic consists of standard X-rays of the elbow in two planes. Exceptions can be made in the case of nursemaid's elbow lesion (subluxation of the radial head; pronation douloureuse; Chassaignac lesion) with unambiguous mechanism of the trauma where no X-ray imaging is needed and in heavily dislocated fractures for which one plane can be sufficient. X-ray imaging of the uninjured side is obsolete. Follow-up X-ray imaging is only allowed if consequences for the further treatment are expected. Ultrasound may partially replace X-rays in the future if further standardization of this technique can be achieved. MRI provides additional information in acute trauma which, however, remains currently without consequences for the further treatment strategy. |
