What is a buckle fracture of the distal radius?

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.

Is a buckle fracture the same as a Greenstick fracture?

There is a difference between buckle fracture and greenstick fractures. Buckle fractures (also called torus) are defined as a compression of the bony cortex on one side with the opposite cortex remains intact. In contrast, a greenstick fracture the opposite cortex is not intact.

What is a buckle break in bones?

Buckle fractures are a type of broken bone that almost always affects kids. They're an incomplete fracture, which means the break doesn't go all the way through the bone. You might see buckle fractures referred to as impacted fractures or torus fractures. Buckle fractures get their name from how they happen.

Is a buckle fracture a Salter Harris?

A buckle fracture was diagnosed if there was buckling of the cortex on both the AP and lateral views without any cortical disruption, indicative of complete fracture, or without radiolucency to the physis, indicative of a Salter-Harris II fracture.

Where is a buckle fracture?

What Is a Buckle Fracture? A buckle (or torus) fracture is a type of broken bone. One side of a bone bends, raising a little buckle, without breaking the other side of the bone.

What's a buckle fracture of the wrist?

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.

What is a nondisplaced buckle fracture?

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.

What are the 4 types of fractures?

Although there are many types of bone fractures, there are four main categories a fracture usually falls under: displaced, non-displaced, open and closed.

Is a buckle fracture a stress fracture?

Stress fractures (hairline fractures): Tiny cracks form in the bone, usually as a result of overuse or repetitive stress-bearing motions. Stress fractures are common in children who run track or participate in gymnastics or dance. Torus or buckle fractures: One side of the bone bends (buckles) upon itself.

Is a buckle fracture displaced or nondisplaced?

Recovery and Long-Term Effects. Most buckle fractures will heal completely with no long-term issues for the patient. 7 Because these fractures are not significantly displaced, and typically they are not growth plate fractures, there is usually no effect on the long-term health of the bone for the child.

How common are buckle fractures?

Fractures of the wrist and forearm account for almost half of all bone breaks in children. Most of these are buckle fractures. It is an extremely common event, and the vast majority of buckle fractures are treated quickly and easily with a cast or splint.

How long does it take for a wrist buckle fracture to heal?

A buckle fracture of the distal radius is a partial break of the bone and is the most common fracture in children. Almost all children recover very well within four weeks with the aid of a removable splint for pain control and protection.

How do you treat a buckle fracture of the wrist?

Buckle injuries are treated by wearing a removable backslab (a partial cast held in place with bandages) or ready-made splint, which should be worn as much as possible but can be removed for bathing or showering. An arm sling is optional, and may help reduce any pain or discomfort.

Does a buckle fracture require a cast?

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.

How long does it take for distal radius fracture to heal?

Most distal radius fractures take 3 months or so to heal before you are able to return to all activities, and full recovery from these injuries can take up to 1 year.

The ICD code S525 is used to code Smith's fracture

A Smith's fracture, also sometimes known as a reverse Colles' fracture or Goyrand-Smith's, is a fracture of the distal radius. 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.
