Abstract:
Because infants from 1 to 6 months of age often normally show symmetric diaphyseal periosteal reaction, careful analysis of the reaction at a midshaft fracture site is needed to date the fracture, especially in a child-abuse evaluation. We present a case of an acute fracture through such physiologic reaction.
