Multiple Low Energy Long Bone Fractures in the Setting of Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome

Figure 2

Young adult male with history of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome diagnosed at 2 years of age. Findings: (a) follow-up radiograph 5 months after injury shows delayed union of the tibia diaphyseal fracture with less than 50% bridging bone at the fracture (oval). (b) 7-month follow-up radiograph shows approximately 50% bridging bone at the tibia diaphyseal fracture with fracture line still easily visualized anteriorly (arrow). (c) Final follow-up radiograph obtained 13 months after initial injury shows near-complete bridging bone across the fracture with fracture line still faintly apparent anteriorly (arrow). Technique: (a) lateral radiograph kVp = 60, mAs = 4, (b) lateral radiograph kVp = 63, mAs = 3, and (c) lateral radiograph kVp = 60, mAs = 3.
