1 From the Departments of Orthopedic Surgery, Radiology, and Pediatrics, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Philadelphia

Between 1965 and 1972, 231 patients were admitted to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia with the battered-child syndrome. The case records and roentgenograms of 217 patients were reviewed. About one-third of the patients required orthopaedic treatment. The purpose of this paper is to alert the orthopaedist to the existence and prevalence of the battered-child syndrome, to describe both the non-orthopaedic and the orthopaedic manifestations of this problem, and to delineate the orthopaedist's responsibility to the battered child and the child's family.
