Physical abuse is the type of abuse with the highest risk of infliction of injuries. The most injured organ due to physical abuse is the skin, with bruises being the most prevalent cutaneous injury. Other cutaneous injuries such as abrasions, lacerations, burns and scalds can also be seen. Fractures are also regularly found in child abuse. Other injuries, often with serious and lifethreatening consequences are intracranial injuries, and abdominal and thoracic injuries. In this chapter child abuse, trauma and injuries will be defined.
