Spiral fracture: This type of fracture is caused by a twisting force. The result is a spiral-shaped fracture line about the bone, like a staircase. Spiral fractures can be displaced or stable, depending on how much force causes the fracture.
19: Toddlers fracture (minimally displaced spiral fracture of tibia) in a 3 year old. Note periosteal new bone formation, indication this fracture is at least 7-10 days old. Transverse fractures of long bones are usually the result of direct impacts, and thus are more common in older children after sports injuries. When seen in younger children, the possibility of abuse should be carefully considered. Fig. 20: Transverse fracture of the humerus in a 5 month old.
