This fracture is a common injury in children. It is often caused from falling on the hand. This fracture causes one side of the bone to bend, but does not actually break through the entire bone. It is an incomplete fracture that normally heals within one month.
Distal radial fractures are a heterogeneous group of fractures that occur at the distal radius and are the dominant fracture type at the wrist. These common fractures usually occur when significant force is applied to the distal radial metaphysis.
You might see buckle fractures referred to as impacted fractures or torus fractures. Buckle fractures get their name from how they happen. They're a compression fracture, which means the break is caused by sudden pressure on a bone.
A buckle fracture is sometimes referred to as an “incomplete fracture,” because the break is only on one side of the long bone of the arm or leg. This injury is also called a “torus fracture,” and is most common in children whose bones are softer and less brittle than adults.
Metaphyseal fractures are also known as corner fractures, bucket handle fractures or metaphyseal lesions. It refers to an injury to the metaphysis which is the growing plate at each end of a long bone (such as tibia, femur, etc).
The long bone in a child is divided into four regions: the diaphysis (shaft or primary ossification centre), metaphysis (where the bone flares), physis (or growth plate) and the epiphysis (secondary ossification centre).
A fracture of the distal radius occurs when the radius — one of the two long bones in the forearm — breaks close to the wrist. Distal radius fractures are very common. In fact, the radius is the most commonly broken bone in the arm.
Distal radius fractures are very common in two subsets of patients: children and the middle-aged. They are the most common arm fracture in kids, as they spend a great deal of time at play, which can lead to falls. These fractures are typically non-displaced, or 'greenstick,' fractures.
The diagnosis of a torus fracture is made from both anterior/posterior and lateral projections. The typical features include: The buckling of cortical bone, which may appear as a small bulge or protuberance in the radius or ulna. The bone may have a slight angulation.
What is a buckle fracture? A buckle fracture occurs when a bone “buckles”, or slightly crushes in on itself. The most common type of buckle fracture in children occurs in the forearm, near the wrist, usually after a child falls onto an outstretched arm. The injury affects the radius bone in particular.
Types of FracturesStable fracture. The broken ends of the bone line up and are barely out of place.Open (compound) fracture. The skin may be pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of the fracture. ... Transverse fracture. ... Oblique fracture. ... Comminuted fracture.
It's also called a torus fracture. These fractures heal faster than complete fractures. But your child will need to wear a splint or cast for at least 3 weeks. It may take 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal.
Torus fractures, also known as buckle fractures, are incomplete fractures of the shaft of a long bone that is characterized by bulging of the cortex. They result from trabecular compression due to an axial loading force along the long axis of the bone.
The most common treatment for a buckle fracture is cast immobilization, but the reality is that even a cast is typically not necessary. Simply protecting the injured bone will often lead to effective healing. Once the bone is healed, injured children can resume normal activities.
A buckle fracture is best treated with a splint rather than a full circular plaster cast. Because the bones are only partially broken, they heal very well within a few weeks with the support and protection that a splint provides.

It is caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm or falling onto flexed wrists, as opposed to a Colles' fracture which occurs as a result of falling onto wrists in extension. Smith's fractures are less common than Colles' fractures.
