Abstract
In this article, we report the case of a male infant who was delivered by cesarean section due to breech presentation. After the delivery, which had not involved the performance of aggressive obstetrical maneuvers, it was discovered that he had sustained a displaced fracture of the femoral metaphysis. In this article, the authors analyze both the atypical clinical presentation and fracture site, as well as the response to treatment and sequelae throughout his first year of life.
