Fractures in young infants are often difficult to detect on plain radiographs when they involve the cartilaginous growth plate. We report a case of a neonatal transphyseal fracture which was detected by the use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. With shortened postnatal hospitalization becoming increasingly common, these and other birth injuries are more likely to present for the first time in the emergency department. The authors recommend the use of ultrasound as the screening modality of choice in the emergency department.
当累及软骨生长板时，年幼婴儿的骨折在普通X线片上往往难以检测到。我们报告了1例通过超声和磁共振成像检测到的新生儿经骺板骨折病例。随着产后住院时间缩短变得越来越普遍，这些及其他产伤更有可能首次在急诊科出现。作者建议在急诊科将超声作为首选的筛查方式。
