# data[].attributes.body
When I was 18 months old I fractured my tibia going down a slide with my mom. My foot got caught and the force was so strong it caused a spiral fracture in my tibia. The next day my mom took me to the doctor because I still couldn't walk and they gave me a cast I wore for six weeks.

What is a spiral fracture?

A spiral fracture is a type of broken bone that happens when one of your bones is broken in a twisting motion. They create a fracture line that wraps around the bone like a corkscrew.

Toddler Fractures

Toddler Fractures are a type of spiral fracture that usually affects children younger than three. They are the same as a regular fracture but almost always happen to children's shin bones (Tibia)
