Abstract
Acute plastic bowing injuries in children characteristically heal with little periosteal callus and exhibit a limited potential to remodel. A case of plastic bowing of the femur in a neonate is reported in which follow-up radiographs demonstrated periosteal new bone formation and rapid remodeling of the deformity. This report suggests that plastic bowing injuries in the neonate show a greater remodeling potential than similar lesions in older children.
