An infant can sustain a spiral fracture due to a combination of factors, including their underdeveloped bone structure and the nature of their movements. Such fractures often occur from a sudden twisting motion, which can happen during rough handling, falls, or accidents. In some cases, spiral fractures may raise concerns about potential abuse, as they can be less common in infants compared to other types of fractures. Careful evaluation is essential to determine the cause of the injury.
