Toddler's Fractures or Childhood Accidental Spiral Tibial (CAST) fractures are bone fractures of the distal (lower) part of the shin bone (tibia) in toddlers and other young children. The fracture involves the distal third to distal half of the tibia, is undisplaced and has a spiral pattern. It occurs after low-energy trauma, sometimes with a rotational component.
He is in a splint now. We will get more x-rays on Friday and maybe a cast.
