    Poor little guy has his daddy's genes. Must have bones made of glass like ginobili.

    Hey, if Dante can get a gold Medal and an NBA Championship after a few broken bones then we're set in about 20 years.

    Kids fall a lot. It's fairly common in the emergency room.

    I would think that it's plausible that he fell off a stair and led with his elbow.

    If that ain't the reason...then I blame GRANT HILL black magic.

    why would you leave a 2 year old near a stairway? I thought toddlers should have supervision 100% of the time?

    Agreed, generally speaking, but maybe the kid is pretty good on the stairs, so the parents let him walk on his own (like mine was). Heck, even today, my 4 year old scares me sometimes walking on the stairs, because he looks like he is going to lose his balance. Typically when he is goofing around. Anyway, you can't protect kids 100% without keeping the kid in a rubber room until he is 18. That is probably not good for him, so better to suffer the odd broken bone.

    sure. But I imagine a tiny angel as a 2 year old should be under adult watch 100% of the time. I am not implying the Ginobili's are bad parents, just curious because someday I might have a little one too and would like to know how these things happen.

    So this is why Manu said he hopes his sons don't become basketball players when they grow up.

    Being under watch doesn't really prevent anything. A neighbor's 2 year old tripped on the sidewalk and faceplanted yesterday while we were all standing within a few feet of him. Nobody could have prevented it. The kind of break Manu's son suffered is usually from putting your forearm down to break a fall. A kid could do that running down the hall and slipping on a hard wood floor.

    When our oldest was 2, he tripped and fell at a 's Sporting Goods face first into the bottom of a display and sliced his nose. It required s ches from a plastic surgeon to make sure it healed well. (It did.) He could just as easily have caught his arm in a display, fallen, and broken it.

    To be honest, he scares me more at 10 than he did at 2. He climbs trees and does other age-appropriate outdoor activities that I recall doing at that age, and it's terrifying as a parent. It's almost inevitable that he gets hurt eventually.

    From my parents' nightmares:

    When I was a toddler, I climbed up on my baby sister's walker to reach a counter, fell, and broke my collarbone.

    When I was 5, I grabbed a pole, climbed up a slide, slid down, and gashed the side of my check when the pole connected with the ground and my cheek. (It healed well, too.)

    It's amazing that most of us survive childhood largely unscathed.

    did not know that. I thought toddlers bones were elastic and can bend in any which way. I seen tons of toddler fall on their heads, hands, etc and everything is fine.

    well he is Manu Ginobili's son after all

    Babies have flexible bones. They are fully hardened around age three, but because children are small, they usually can't generate the force necessary to break a bone. It takes a collision or a bad fall, like from a tree or down stairs.

    My friend was the one who performed the X-rays at Methodist Hospital. She said she was starstruck and had difficulty performing her job, ultimately she came thru and got the x-rays needed.

    Kids fall, kids break bones. All part of growing up.

    It's rare to find a kid (boys especially) who have never broken a bone or dislocated a joint.

    If you could see my index fingers you would think I was weird. Both are bent and twisted from football. Not just normal bend but major bend. Both were dislocated more than once. Hurt like then but no problem other than looks now. I was lucky. I only broke one bone growing up. But one kid broke something almost every year. Arm, leg, collarbone, ribs etc. Kids getting broken bones happen.

    I doubt you'd seen him, he was taken straight to x-rays without any waiting, it pays to be a celebrity.
