A Rare Presentation of an Isolated Radius Shaft Fracture in a Two-Month-Old Child: Dilemmas and Management

In this report, we discuss the case of a two-month-old boy with an isolated radius shaft fracture in the right forearm. The history and nature of the injury may be inconclusive in such injuries. A radiograph confirmed that the child had a fracture. We treated the boy conservatively, and the fracture united well in four weeks. Surgeons should be aware of this rare presentation in infants of this age. Inquiry into possible child abuse as well as clinical and metabolic workup is essential in these cases.
