Historically, the high incidence of postreduction deformities has led some surgeons to consider alternative approaches to obtain superior results. Here we compare simple closed reduction versus primary open repair of the nasoseptal fracture. STUDY DESIGN This was a prospective study of 40 consecutive patients ...

We retrospectively reviewed 39 distal metaphyseal radius fractures in children. This study compares the results of closed reduction with or without percutaneous pinning. Twenty-four fractures were treated by closed reduction and above-elbow cast immobilisation. Re-displacement was noted after one week in three patients, for which they were revised with reduction and pinning. Fifteen patients we...
