Classic metaphyseal lesion following vaginal breech birth, a rare birth trauma

摘要

A six day old male neonate, born after attempted external version (ECV) and vaginal breech birth, was evaluated for pain during diaper changes. US of the leg showed a small subperiosteal fluid collection at the distal right femur. Conventional radiographs demonstrated the presence of a classic metaphyseal corner fracture (CML). This case is to our knowledge the first to report a CML after ECV and vaginal delivery.
