The clinical presentation is consistent with a toddler's fracture, which is treated with a long leg cast. Initial radiographs are often negative but follow-up radiographs may demonstrate a healing periosteal reaction. According to Mashru et al in a review of tibia fractures, toddler's fractures are one of the most common injuries in the child younger than 2 years. They are non-displaced spiral fractures of the tibia caused by low-energy twists and falls. The treatment is application of a long leg cast for 3-4 weeks.
