Distal radius fractures are common, [3] and are the most common type of fractures that are seen in children. [4] Distal radius fractures represent between 25% and 50% of all broken bones and occur most commonly in young males and older females. [3] [2] A year or two may be required for healing to occur. [1]
The major risk factor for a greenstick fracture is young age. Children have softer bones than adults, and are also frequently engaged in sports and other activities that result in limb injury. [2] The greenstick fracture pattern occurs as a result of bending forces. Activities with a high risk of falling are risk factors.

Bisphosphonates have been used to reduce fracture rates in children with the disease osteogenesis imperfecta [24] and to treat otosclerosis [25] by minimizing bone loss. Other bisphosphonates, including medronate (R 1 =H, R 2 =H) and oxidronate (R 1 =H, R 2 =OH), are mixed with radioactive technetium and injected, as a way to image bone and ...
