Résumé
To describe a safeguarding decision pathway for the assessment of osteopenic fractures in non-ambulant children with cerebral palsy. Literature review and consensus practice of a child safeguarding team, including clinicians and social workers. Low-energy fractures of the lower limb in non-ambulant children with cerebral palsy are relatively common and explained by the presence of reduced bone strength, in the absence of any other unexplained injuries or safeguarding concerns.
