View larger version (295K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. Bilateral Femur Fractures. Bilateral femur fractures are visible in a nine-month-old boy who was restrained with only a standard lap belt in the rear seat of an automobile that struck a post at 40 miles (65 km) per hour. The child required hospitalization and a prolonged period in a spica cast. A proper car seat is the only appropriate restraint for a small child.
