Abstract

The baby lay on the examining table, his elbow swollen to grotesque proportions like some jumbo orange had sprouted from his tiny arm. And Diana Fite, MD, remembers wondering how the 1-year-old child could have sustained such an awful fracture from just falling out of bed. In 2 years as an emergency physician, she'd seen her share of injuries from out-of-bed falls--usually split lips, minor head lacerations, or, at worst, fractured clavicles. But nothing like what this baby had.
