Hello,
If a similar patient comes to my opd I would suggest not to strain your kid. kindly ask your doctor and do calcium, vitamin D, thyroid and sugar level.
If this value is not normal it can cause fractures with minimum strain. hope Your child has a normal level of all these and it was the strain that caused the fracture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
