    As aforementioned, the most common buckle fracture is of the distal radius in the forearm, which typically originates from a Fall Onto an Outstretched Hand . [6] Such orthopaedic injuries are distinctive in children as their bones are softer and in a dynamic state of bone growth and development, with a higher collagen to bone ratio so ...

    It is thus a form of child bone fracture. It is a common injury found in children, occurring in 15% of childhood long bone fractures. [3] This type of fracture and its classification system is named for Robert B. Salter and William H.

    Fracture with a dorsal tilt. Dorsal is left, and volar is right in the image. There are a number of ways to classify distal radius fractures.Classifications systems are devised to describe patterns of injury which will behave in predictable ways, to distinguish between conditions which have different outcomes or which need different treatments.

  7. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

    An open fracture (or compound fracture) is a bone fracture where the broken bone breaks through the skin. [2] A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress , or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis , osteopenia , bone cancer , or osteogenesis imperfecta ...

  9. Fat pad sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_pad_sign

    The posterior fat pad is normally pressed in the olecranon fossa by the triceps tendon, and hence invisible on lateral radiograph of the elbow. [3] When there is a fracture of the distal humerus, or other pathology involving the elbow joint, inflammation develops around the synovial membrane forcing the fat pad out of its normal physiologic resting place.
