Immobilisation of forearm fractures in children: extended versus flexed elbow.
Redisplacement of unstable forearm fractures in plaster is common and may be the result of a number of factors. Little attention has been paid to the influence of immobilisation with the elbow extended versus flexed. We prospectively treated 111 consecutive children from two centres with closed forearm fractures by closed reduction and casting with the elbow either extended (60) in China or fle...
متن کاملTreatment of Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures in Children
Both bone forearm fractures are common orthopedic injuries. Optimal treatment is dictated not only by fracture characteristics but also patient age. In the pediatric population, acceptable alignment can tolerate greater fracture displacement due to the bone's ability to remodel with remaining growth. Generally, these fractures can be successfully managed with closed reduction and casting, howev...
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 کاملDisplaced Distal Forearm Fractures in Children.
Introduction: Distal forearm fractures are the most common cause for morbidity in otherwise healthy children. There is a wide variety of pediatric fractures. When sufficient force is applied, a complete ‘adult-type’ fracture may occur. By nature, these fractures are very unstable because of disruption of both cortices. Maintaining reduction is key for successful treatment. However, there is no ...
متن کاملTreatment of unstable fractures of the forearm in children.
Unstable fractures of the forearm in children present problems in management and in the indications for operative treatment. In children, unlike adults, the fractures nearly always unite, and up to 10 degrees of angulation is usually considered to be acceptable. If surgical intervention is required the usual practice in the UK is to plate both bones as in an adult. We studied, retrospectively, ...
