[Perinatal injuries of skeletal system].

Perinatal injuries to the skeletal system are quite rate and observed in no more than something between one and three per cent of all newborns. Injury of the mother short time before childbirth, metabolic disorders, inflammatory processes, genetic defects or intrapartum complications, which call for no-delay control in the interests of mother and child, are some of the common causes. Reference is made to diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment for various types of injuries, against the background of the authors' own experience.
