To explore the incidence, patterns, and mechanisms of injuries and fractures in children under two years of age.
Retrospective, population-based cross-sectional study
Included children under two presenting at A&E for trauma or radiographs due to birth trauma
Radiographs were re-reviewed for further analysis.
Out of 430 children, 42 had birth-related injuries and 163 had non-birth related fractures.
Annual incidence of fractures was 4.3 per 1,000 children, higher in older age groups.
Main fracture mechanisms included falls from heights and crush injuries.
