Study of the Geometry of the Immature Human Femur Before the Age of 3 Years From Data Measured on CT Scan

Recruiting

• Conditions: Femur Fracture, Childhood

• Registration Number: NCT05620394
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Brief Summary

Childhood fractures are the second most common presentation of abuse. The target population for screening for these injuries is children under the age of three who are unable to express themselves about the circumstances of the trauma, hence the need to develop a validated model to predict the outcome of trauma as well as the origin of a fracture.

Few morphological data are available in the literature for the femur concerning the period of rapid growth between 0 and 3 years of age.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To retrospectively characterize the variations in femur morphology during growth in a target pediatric population aged 0 to 3 years	Files analysed retrospectively from January 01, 2015 to February 29, 2020 will be examined	To retrospectively characterize the variations in femur morphology during growth in a target pediatric population aged 0 to 3 years with the aim of later developing a numerical model to study fracture mechanisms for forensic applications
