Figure 7

Young adult male with history of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome diagnosed at 2 years of age. Findings: (a) recurrent mildly displaced mid tibia diaphyseal fracture through the area of tibia fracture 9 years earlier (arrow). (b) Mildly displaced fracture of the mid tibia diaphysis again seen. There is increased cortical thickening of the mid tibia diaphysis (arrow). Technique: (a) AP radiograph kVp = 57, mAs = 3, and (b) lateral radiograph kVp = 57, mAs = 3.
