Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation of the child’s medical history, a physical examination, and sometimes specific tests:
1. Blood Tests: To check for nutritional deficiencies, infections, and other underlying conditions. 2. Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of an injury or fracture. 3. Biopsy: In cases of chronic wounds, a biopsy may be taken to rule out infections or other pathologies.
