Distal radius fractures in children: substantial difference in stability between buckle and greenstick fractures
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Numerous follow-up visits for wrist fractures in children are performed without therapeutic consequences. We investigated the degree to which the follow-up visits reveal complications and lead to change in management. The stability of greenstick and buckle fractures of the distal radius was assessed by comparing the lateral angulation radiographically. PATIENTS AND METH...
متن کاملA randomized trial of 'soft cast' for distal radius buckle fractures in children.
A buckle fracture is a stable fracture where there is a dorsal cortex compression of the distal radius. A total of 117 children with buckle fracture treated at our institution were randomised prospectively into two treatment groups: soft cast or rigid cast. The rigid cast group attended clinic after three weeks for removal of the cast. In the soft cast group, the cast was removed by parents at ...
متن کاملMalunion of distal radius fractures in children
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distal forearm fractures in children have excellent remodeling potential. The current literature states that 15° is the maximum acceptable angulation limit, though studies focusing on remodeling capacity above this value are lacking. We present data on the remodeling process in children with distal radius malunions with an angulation of ≥ 15°. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retro...
متن کاملForearm and distal radius fractures in children.
Pediatric forearm and distal radius fractures are common injuries. Resultant deformities are usually a product of indirect trauma involving angular loading combined with rotational displacement. Fractures are classified by location, completeness, angular and rotational deformity, and fragment displacement. Successful outcomes are based on restoration of adequate pronation and supination and, to...
متن کاملDistal Radius Fractures
With the wide array of treatment options now available, this is an exciting era for the treatment of fractures of the distal radius. An improved understanding of kinematics, bone quality, and muscle forces acting across the fracture has led to increased awareness of a fracture’s relative stability, as well as the development of innovative devices to counteract these forces and restore stability...
