Part 4 – Chapter 13 – Non-accidental injury in the young infant. Caffey described the effects of shaking on infants, and its association with bilateral retinal hemorrhage and the typical metaphyseal corner fracture. There is often controversy as to the precise mechanism of injury, whether it be a pure shaking-whiplash injury, or whether there is an additional impact injury. The forces generated with an impact are of an order of magnitude greater than with shaking. Since MR, with its multiplanar capabilit...
