Portable ultrasound devices could provide an alternative to x-ray machines for diagnosing forearm fractures in children in a move that could alleviate waiting times for families in hospital emergency ...

A 52-year-old man presented to our orthopedic clinic with an 8-month history of a right distal forearm mass accompanied by severe pain and right-hand numbness. He reported paresthesias in the median ...

What is Distal Radius Fracture? The larger of the two bones of the forearm is known as radius. The end of the arm towards the wrist is called the distal end. When the area of the radius near the wrist ...

Children with distal radius fractures face some of the same complications as adults, including malunion, compartment syndrome and acute carpal tunnel syndrome, but these complications are much rarer.

Initial diagnostic ultrasonography for suspected pediatric distal forearm fractures is accurate and timely. Whether this approach is noninferior to radiography for later physical function is unclear.

Background: Minimally angulated fractures of the distal radius are common in children and have excellent outcomes. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of a ...
