Your child will likely have three to four weeks of bracing or casting, followed by one to two weeks of part-time bracing. This simple treatment has major benefits in terms of cost and reduction of the number of attendances. They can be treated with either a wrist splint or a short arm cast, both of which give the fracture the protection it needs to heal. There is no evidence that further follow-up is required. The patient should be reviewed on the following day to confirm the diagnosis and to give appropriate advice. Causes Diagnosis Treatment A buckle fracture is an incomplete fracture where one side of the bone 'buckles' or bends on itself it does not affect the other side of the bone. Abstract Purpose: To discuss the evidence base behind treatment of pediatric distal radius fractures. We suggest that a 'Futura-type' wrist splint can be used to treat these fractures. One Brace: One Visit: Treatment of Pediatric Distal Radius Buckle Fractures With a Removable Wrist Brace and No Follow-up Visit. Simple treatment for torus fractures of the distal radius. The questionnaire showed a marked variation in the way in which these injuries are treated with regard to the method and period of immobilisation, the number of follow-up visits and radiographs taken. Davidson JS, Brown DJ, Barnes SN, Bruce CE. Only one patient did not tolerate the splint which was replaced by a cast. There was no difference in outcome between the two groups, and all patients had a good result. The patient should be reviewed on the following day to confirm the diagnosis.
All patients were treated for a period of three weeks, followed by clinical and radiological review. We suggest that a Futura-type wrist splint can be used to treat these fractures. We present an atypical case of distal radius torus fracture in a. Over a six-month period, we randomised 201 consecutive patients with this injury to treatment with either a traditional forearm plaster-of-Paris cast or a 'Futura-type' wrist splint. their treatment therefore consists in immobilisation of the joint for three to four weeks. Based on the results of a postal questionnaire and a prospective, randomised trial, we describe a simple treatment for this injury, which saves both time and money. Torus (buckle) fractures of the distal radius are common in childhood.
