Infant With Fractured Femur. How To Determine If She Has Brittle Bones?
my Daughter is 6 months old and she has a small fracture on her left femur. I brought her to the E.R cause I knew something was wrong. so my question is could it be possible that my daughter has weeker bones than a normal baby her eyes are blue and grey also and there was no other damage anywhere to suspect somebody to inteninally cause her harm or bruising on the outside of her leg. How can I find out if she is more brittle than others so nothing happens again.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. To detect the brittle bones, it needs a complete evaluation- X-ray, blood tests, etc to know any genetic disorder. You need to consult her pediatrician for related investigations. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
