Abstract
A 52-day-old infant presented to the emergency department with newly discovered fractures of the left arm, including fractures of the distal humerus and distal radius and an ulnar metaphyseal corner fracture. Initial presentation was concerning for nonaccidental trauma. Review of systems and physical examination findings suggested an alternative etiology. Further radiographic studies and laboratory results revealed the ultimate diagnosis.
