A member asked:
Baby had joint deformity in wrists & ankles.fracture proximal tibia, milt bowing right femur & pelvic tilt.no spinal deformity.what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Joint contractures : Of prenatal onset are called arthrogryposis. There are different etiologies (causes) of this, depending on the findings on physical exam. A fracture of the tibia in a newborn could be associated with one of the types of osteogenesis imperfecta. Certainly, evaluation by a geneticist is warranted, as well as by a pediatric orthopedist & a pediatric neurologist, ideally before you take baby home.
