Abstract
CORRES-FRANCO, I; MAS-CELIS, F and CASTANEDA-LEEDER, P. Toddler’s fracture, case report and review of literature. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.5, pp.256-258. ISSN 2306-4102.
Introduction:
The suspected diagnosis of a Toddler’s fracture can often be complicated by an unclear history, the lack of specific clinical findings and the absence of obvious changes in the initial radiographs. We present the case of an infant of 3 years and 7 months old with a history of falling from her own height with a rotation mechanism of the left pelvic limb. The purpose of this paper is to describe the etiopathology, diagnosis and therapeutic management of these fractures.
Discussion:
The clinical history, physical examination and the use of imaging studies help identify Toddler’s fractures, pathology that must be known to medical specialists for an ideal treatment.
Keywords : Toddler’s fracture; tibial shaft fractures; obscure tibial fracture of infants; stress fractures.
