Abstract
We reviewed 68 fractures of the distal radius in children, all treated by primary manipulation and plaster immobilisation. Complete displacement of the fracture and failure to achieve a perfect reduction were both associated with a significant increase in the chance of redisplacement. We recommend the use of percutaneous Kirschner wires to maintain a satisfactory position in all cases in which a perfect reduction cannot be achieved.Entities:
