Metaphyseal fractures are fractures that involve the metaphysis of tubular bones. They may occur in pediatric or adult patients. Examples of metaphyseal fractures: adults. surgical neck of humerus fracture. distal radial fracture. transtrochanteric fracture. children.
Metaphyseal fractures have a peak incidence during the adolescent growth spurt (girls aged 11-12 years, boys 12-13 years) due to weakening through the metaphysis with rapid growth. Up to 13% incidence of other arm injuries (hand, forearm, elbow) occur on the same side.
Proximal tibia metaphyseal fractures are a fracture of the proximal tibia usually seen in children from 3 -6 years of age. Treatment is usually closed reduction and casting in extension with a varus mold.
Metaphyseal corner fractures, also known as classical metaphyseal lesions (CML) or bucket handle fractures, are observed in young children, less than 2 years old. It is suggestive of non-accidental injury (NAI). Epidemiology.
A metaphyseal fracture is a type of bone fracture that occurs in the metaphysis, the wider part of the bone near the growth plate. This type of fracture is commonly seen in children due to their developing bones and can result from various causes, such as falls, sports injuries, or child abuse.
The Salter-Harris classification system is a method used to grade fractures that occur in children and involve the growth plate, which is also known as the physis or physial plate. The classification system grades fractures according to the involvement of the physis, metaphysis, and epiphysis. The fracture grade has important implications for ...
