Babywearing is the practice of using a swathe of fabric or purpose-built carrier to hold an infant or toddler close the caregiver’s torso, for multiple hours of the day. The child’s legs are often positioned in an “M” shape, with hips and knees flexed and abducted. There is increasing interest in the potential for babywearing to assist in hip development, as the “M” position assumed in most carriers is similar to the position achieved in harnesses/braces used in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The association between low incidence of DDH in babywearing populations (Southern China, Aboriginal people of Western Australia, Central and Southern Africa, Malawi, and the Inuit/Eskimos of the circumpolar north) suggests that babywearing may play a role in optimal hip development, although genetics likely also contributes. Biomechanical studies have demonstrated optimal hip joint reaction forces while in baby carriers, with similar lower-extremity muscle activation as obtained in Pavlik harnesses. Ultrasound studies have shown that infant hips maintain normal ultrasound parameters while in baby carriers. In addition to its potential positive impact on hip development, babywearing stimulates caretaker-infant responsiveness, improves attachment and bonding, promotes language development, decreases infant crying, supports breastfeeding, and allows for caregiver multi-tasking. With improper use or insufficient care, asphyxia, falls/trauma, and baby-carrier purpura are potential complications. Energy expenditure of babywearing is less than arm-carrying, and effects on gait and posture can be minimized with proper positioning. Orthopedic surgeons may support their patient families that wish to babywear, as there are multiple non-orthopedic benefits, few potential complications if performed properly, and a promising potential for this form of post-natal positioning to have a positive impact on hip development. Future research should focus on prospective comparative studies of babywearing versus other post-natal positions and their impact on hip development.

“…Scores from each component are considered separately and combined to form an overall GCS score ranging from a total score of 3–15. However despite this, authors have used different methods when evaluating head injury severity particularly from a low height fall, with some documenting specific structural damage as identified on neuroimaging such as skull fracture ( 12 ) or a SDH13 and others using a defined scale such as minor versus serious ( 9 ).…”

“…Original research conducted by Helfer et al ( 7 ) investigated children <5 years old who had fallen from a bed or sofa and used a cut-off of <0.91 m. Since then it has variably been defined, with authors using cut-off heights from 0.91 to 1.52 m ( 8 ). Previously, authors have also documented mean heights for moderate/serious head injury when comparing head injury severity groupings ( 9 , 10 ). Mean heights have been reported between 0.91 and 1.32 m ( 11 ).…”

The determination of plausibility of an injury arising from a fall leading to head trauma is a great challenge especially in young children. The present review is aimed to discuss important developments in the filed of head trauma cases especially in children. We explored various studies pertaining to head trauma injuries in children by exploring mainly PubMed, Google scholar and some library periodicals available in our library. Studies in the recent past explored the head injuries as a result of a low height fall. However, there are great amount of difficulties in assessment of height with certainty that caused head injuries like skull fracture or intracranial injury. Biomechanical thresholds have been estimated for young children for injuries such as skull fracture, but they have not been assessed against the injuries observed in a clinical setting. So, this review discusses current aspects of pediatric head injuries ranging from a minor head injury to a skull fracture. The present review concludes that recording full details of cause of head trauma such as fall height is essential for proper treatment planning and efficient management.
