Children with distal radius fractures face some of the same complications as adults, including malunion, compartment syndrome and acute carpal tunnel syndrome, but these complications are much rarer.

Fractures of the distal radius can be treated with below-elbow or above-elbow casts, however below-elbow casts may be associated with better radiological outcomes, based on results of a prospective ...

What is Distal Radius Fracture? The larger of the two bones of the forearm is known as radius. The end of the arm towards the wrist is called the distal end. When the area of the radius near the wrist ...

Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius (IFDR) represent high energy, complex, unstable injuries, and account for approximately one-sixth of the fractures observed in emergency rooms. 1,2 The ...

A new single-use kit for treating wrist fractures aims to improve efficiency and minimize costs. The contents of the new, pre-sterilized Distal Radius Sterile Kit shown on the front table, compared ...

This study extends the literature that uses in HR pQCT to examine ''bone quality" in vivo in a novel way using customized image acquisition and analyses protocols to assess bone parameters in the ...

Background: Minimally angulated fractures of the distal radius are common in children and have excellent outcomes. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of a ...

Osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) of long bones is an uncommon manifestation and a frequently challenging diagnosis due to the absence of typical symptoms. We report a case of an infant with tubercular ...
