What is a buckle fracture of the radius?Question:What is a buckle fracture of the radius?Radius and Ulna:There are two bones located in the forearm of the body, the lower arm found between the elbow and the wrist. These bones are the radius and the ulna. The joints formed at either ...
The radius fracture is proximal to the ulna fracture in most children and adolescents. Complete transverse or short oblique fractures with little or no comminution are the most common fracture types; plastic deformation (Fig. 1) and greenstick injuries are seen more commonly in younger children. ...
A compressive force in a child will produce a torus fracture, also called buckle fracture, instead of the impacted fractures that occur in adults (ulna in Figure 2A). A force applied to the side of a long bone may disrupt one ... MP Eiff,RL Hatch 被引量: 0发表: 2003年 加载更多来源...
Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fractures in children. Most fractures are buckle-type factures which are inherently stable and are treated with a removable splint for 3 weeks. Greenstick fractures are unstable and continue to displace
A compressive force in a child will produce a torus fracture, also called buckle fracture, instead of the impacted fractures that occur in adults (ulna in Figure 2A). A force applied to the side of a long bone may disrupt one cortex while merely bend...
Buckle Fracture: (1)intact cortex on all views (2)no visible fracture lines extending toward the physis on any view (3)two or three inflection points in the cortex on either anteroposterior or lateral view, whichever best represents the fracture (4)correlation between the images and the point...
Distal fractures of the radius and ulna are the most common forearm injuries.∗ These fractures are classified as torus or buckle fractures, incomplete or greenstick fractures, and complete fractures. Most complete fractures involve both the ulna and radius, whereas most torus fractures are isolated...
What is a Colles' fracture of the radius? Radius Bone: The radius is the slightly shorter of the two bones located in the forearm, the part of the arm between the elbow and the wrist. Because it is shorter than the ulna, the other bone, the radius only connects with the wrist joint...
If a true AP of the elbow is not obtained, minimally displaced fractures are sometimes difficult to identify due to the overriding nature of the ulna on plain radiographs. Difficulty assessing the fracture is further amplified in the young child when the epiphysis has just begun to ossify or ...
