Abstract
Forensic anthropologists have made remarkable contributions to the medicolegal investigation of nonaccidental injury in pediatric cases. They have created standard nomenclature for fracture descriptions. Anthropologists have developed novel techniques that increase the sensitivity of the pediatric autopsy. They have performed biomechanical research that enables reconstruction of events surrounding death. Also, anthropology practitioners have developed several reference guides on the subject of nonaccidental injury that are of value to forensic pathologists. These advancements assist forensic pathologists in the accurate classification of cause and manner of death in pediatric cases.
