Conservative vs. Surgical intervention in Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures in age group 1 to 15 years: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: Journal of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Background: Pediatric diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna, commonly referred to as both bone forearm fractures, are the third most common fracture in the pediatric population and account for 13-40% of all pediatric fractures.1,2. Over 40% of girls and over 50% of boys sustain at least one fracture during childhood and adolescence,(3)with distal forearm fractures being among the most common, accounting for up to one-third of all pediatric fractures.(3) Furthermore, distal forearm fractures in childhood are increasing in incidence,(4,5) particularly among girls.(4) Fracture rate peaks between ages 11 and 15 yr [5], corresponding to the period of maximum postnatal growth velocity. Thus, the role of a childhood distal forearm fracture, in particular, on fracture risk later in life, would have practical clinical applications.
