Toddler’s fractures may have an initial normal X-Ray or appear as an incomplete vertical or oblique hairline crack in the distal tibia.A tibia / fibula X-ray should have anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views and include the knee and ankle joints.Carefully examine the hip, knee and ankle joints to exclude septic arthritis, other injury and other causes of limp.Toddler's fractures often have subtle physical findings with minimal swelling and tenderness. Toddlers will favour the injured leg and not want to weight bear.The child will not weight bear on the injured leg. Tibial shaft fractures will have localised swelling and tenderness with or without clinical deformity.The mechanism may be trivial and often no injury is recalled by the parents. Toddler’s fractures commonly occur with minimal trauma in the child who is learning to walk and trips over.Sports injuries and motor vehicle accidents are a common mechanism in older children.Most common mechanism of injury for a lower leg fracture is a fall, resulting in a direct blow or a rotational force.Clinicians should also consider the local skill level available and their local area policies before following any guideline. ![]() These clinical guidelines should never be relied on as a substitute for proper assessment with respect to the particular circumstances of each case and the needs of each patient. Clinical common-sense should be applied at all times. They are not strict protocols, and they do not replace the judgement of a senior clinician. Please see The Vetiqo website for more information about prices.These guidelines have been produced to guide clinical decision making for the medical, nursing and allied health staff of Perth Children’s Hospital.

With its spiral fracture it is suitable for training different osteosynthesis techniques on the canine Tibia. It displays the anatomical structures in detail, from the Tuberositas tibiae to the Malleolus lateralis. ![]() This two-layered canine Tibia contains structured bone marrow which is clearly differentiated from the surrounded Substantia compacta in colour and structure.
