Spiral fractures are also recognized as being suspicious in very young children since to obtain a fracture of this sort requires forceful twisting or jerking of the limbs. Child abuse (physical abuse) and certain conditions such as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are considered differentials when identifying spiral or torsion fractures. [2]
A child bone fracture or a pediatric fracture is a medical condition in which a bone of a child (a person younger than the age of 18) is cracked or broken. [1] About 15% of all injuries in children are fracture injuries. [2] Bone fractures in children are different from adult bone fractures because a child's bones are still growing. Also, more ...

In orthopedic medicine, fractures are classified in various ways. Historically they are named after the physician who first described the ...

Toddler's fractures are bone fractures of the distal (lower) part of the shin bone in toddlers (aged 9 months-3 years) and other young children (less than 8 years). [1] The fracture is found in the distal two thirds of the tibia in 95% of cases, [ 1 ] is undisplaced and has a spiral pattern.
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...
The Müller AO Classification of fractures is a system for classifying bone fractures initially published in 1987 [1] by the AO Foundation as a method of categorizing injuries according to therognosis of the patient's anatomical and functional outcome. "AO" is an initialism for the German "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen", the ...
In countries where cars drive on the right, pedestrians tend to be struck on the left, causing left femur fractures, injuries to the left chest or spleen, and right sided head injuries. [ 3 ] Although this injury pattern may not be common, [ 4 ] it is used to emphasize the point that children involved in high energy impacts should not be ...
