A member asked:
I have a 3 month old with 4 different bone fractures. what can cause these fractures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nature vs trauma: There are disorders of bone formation that lead to brittle bones that break easily, these are rare but do exist. Clavicle fractures on one side are common in the newly born, but rare later. Any kid with 4 fx at that age needs a workup for metabolic issues or inflicted trauma.
