Iatrogenic flexion-related classic metaphyseal lesion of the distal tibia: three cases

Classic metaphyseal lesions (CMLs) should raise concern for nonaccidental trauma. However, iatrogenic causes for CMLs have increasingly been described and warrant close consideration. Increasing the clinical understanding of CML mechanics and their relation to often routine medical procedures will enhance provider awareness and expand the differential diagnosis when these otherwise highly concerning injuries are identified.
