Concept and Anatomy of Maltreatment Phantom

Children around the world are victims to domestic violence and abuse, yet the problem is often overlooked. Noticing the signs of an abusive fracture of a child is the first step to putting an end to these maltreatments. The Bone Fracture Pediatric Phantom by KYOTO KAGAKU has been designed and developed to cultivate such observation skills in future radiologists and radiographers.

• Signs of callus: A number of callus examples can be a result of abusive treatment. This particular model contains calluses in the wound healing phase 5.
• Supracondylar humerus fracture: A supracondylar humerus fracture on the distal humerus above epicondyles and is a fracture commonly observed in children, accounting for approximately 20%.
• Spiral fracture: Certain causes of non-accidental pediatric injuries, such as spiral fractures, include maltreatment stimulated by anger or distress.
• Back, scapula and rib fractures: Rib fractures close to the vertebrae may be potential indicators of the child being thrown.
• Skull fractures: A linear skull fracture may be another indication of child maltreatment. At times, fractures display better on x ray scans than CT imaging.
