Abstract
Background: This article aims to summarize the available information and present treatment recommendations. The scope of this discussion is limited to physeal and metaphyseal fractures of the pediatric distal radius.
Current Concepts: Pediatric distal radial fractures are common among children and adolescents. The mechanism of injury is usually a fall on an outstretched hand, and fractures typically occur during sports-related activities. Children with distal radial fractures initially present with pain, swelling, and distal forearm deformities. Plain radiographs are essential for evaluating the fracture type and degree of displacement. Complete wrist, forearm, and elbow views should also be assessed, especially for high-energy injuries, to identify ipsilateral fractures. Fractures typically involve the distal radial metaphysis or physis. Metaphyseal fractures are classified as torus, buckle, and bicortical fractures. Most displaced Salter-Harris types I and II and non-displaced metaphyseal fractures can be treated with closed reduction and casting. Operative treatment is recommended if irreducibility or soft-tissue neurovascular compromise is suspected. Operative options include closed reduction, percutaneous pinning, or open reduction, followed by pin or plate fixation. Malunion, nonunion, physeal arrest, ulnocarpal impaction, and nerve injury are possible complications of distal radial fractures in pediatric patients.
Discussion and Conclusion: Metaphyseal and physeal fractures of the distal radius are common in children. Most cases are best treated with closed reduction and cast immobilization. Clinicians should be aware of delayed complications and understand how to manage them to ensure successful long-term outcomes.
