  • Title: Child abuse fracture through physiologic periosteal reaction.
    Author: Pergolizzi R, Oestreich AE.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1995; 25(7):566-7. PubMed ID: 8545193.
    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.
