![]() Treating these fractures with functional nonrigid devices (Tubigrip) results in improved function without increased discomfort or deformity. A greenstick fracture is a partial thickness fracture where only the cortex and periosteum are interrupted on one side of the bone while they remain uninterrupted on the other side. These results support the idea that ultrasound is an effective and sensitive tool for detecting undisplaced greenstick and torus fractures of the distal radius in children. These fracture patterns include greenstick, torus, and spiral injuries, which are bending injuries rather than full-thickness cortical breaks. However, there was no difference in the levels of pain, analgesia required, and deformity. Our results also showed that Tubigrip was superior in terms of interference with a child's ADLs, stiffness and grip strength. In terms of diagnosis, the ultrasound was found to be more sensitive than X-rays for diagnosing these fractures. Patients were randomized (single blindly) to the studied treatment groups. We prospectively included 79 patients suffering from undisplaced greenstick and torus fractures of the distal radius. Greenstick fractures, which have cortical disruption, are also common in. Incomplete compression fractures without cortical disruption, called buckle (torus) fractures, are common in children. The aim of this study was twofold: firstly, to analyse the sensitivity of X-rays versus ultrasound to diagnose these fractures secondly, to compare three available treatment options (plaster cast, Futuro splints, and double Tubigrip) in terms of pain, analgesia requirements, grip strength, deformity, stiffness and interference with a child's activities of daily living. If initial imaging findings are negative and suspicion of fracture remains, splinting and repeat radiography in seven to 14 days should be performed. One study by Andrews et al., showed that Torus fractures might be manageable with soft bandaging. ![]() These patients should follow up with their primary care within 10-14 days of injury. Torus fractures generally heal within 3 weeks without any intervention. 95 CI 410) patients, a greenstick fracture in 15 (7 410) patients, a Salter-Harris II fracture in three (1 03) patients, and an unspecified fracture in one (0♵ 01. Incomplete pediatric DR fractures include the Greenstick Fracture and the Torus Fracture. The management and the diagnostic modalities used in cases of undisplaced greenstick and torus fractures of the distal radius in children vary between different treatment centres. This trial found equivalence in pain at 3 days in children with a torus fracture of the distal radius assigned to the offer of a bandage group or the rigid. ![]()
