Abstract

We present the case of an 18-month-old boy with multiple fractures resulting from non-accidental trauma, after being dragged down a flight of stairs by his caregiver. The radiological protocol used in our institution for suspected non-accidental trauma is described, along with the diagnostic process and the orthopedic and social management implemented.
