Abstract

Wrist fractures are the commonest paediatric fracture, comprising 20% of all fractures in children. The majority are simple torus fractures caused by compression forces acting along the main axis of the bone, with buckling of the cortices, often more pronounced on the concave side (Figure 17.1). Greenstick fractures occur from a bending force with a unicortical break of the convex side.
