Is it possible for a child to have recieve a humerous spiral fracture from having his arm threw the bars of portable radiator next to a door and the door open on him and twisting his body cause the fracture?
An answer to your question should not be attempted without first obtaining a good history, performing a physical examination and viewing the radiographs.A spiral fracture of the humerus results from a torsion force or twisting motion to the arm. Spiral fractures can be accidental or inflicted.
