3. The signs and symptoms are clearly stated. The bullet points help in this area. 4. The definition of a clavicle fracture could be more detailed.

In patients younger than 12, wrist fractures cause specific alterations at the surface of the bone (bulge, angulation, offset or fracture gap), and through diagnosis and treatment can be identified without X-ray imaging. [14] Intra-articular fractures are rare and require X-ray imaging. The standard procedure is the wrist SAFE algorithm. [15]
