An 8-month-old child has a 24-hour-long history of increased crying when she moves her right leg. She has a prominent bulge over the mid-right thigh, where she had received an immunization the previous day. She has not had a fever or change in appetite, and she seems upset only when the leg is disturbed. The child underwent a failed Kasai procedure for biliary atresia and is awaiting a liver transplant. A radiograph of the leg demonstrates a mid-shaft fracture and poor mineralization.
