Summary:

Now in its updated Second Edition, this volume is a practical, objective, and evidence-based guide to the medical diagnosis and management of child abuse. The book provides the medical, surgical, radiographic, and laboratory information needed to evaluate and manage suspected child abuse cases, as well as to rule out abuse in appropriate situations. This edition features new chapters on biomechanics of injury -- a topic that frequently arises in legal proceedings -- and unusual manifestations of abuse.
