Jun 17, 2023 · Bowing fractures are incomplete fractures of tubular long bones in pediatric patients (especially the radius and ulna) that often require no intervention and heal with remodeling.
Jul 1, 2021 · We present a case of an ulnar fracture with subsequent non-union and initially missed associated plastic deformity of the radius to highlight the importance of adequate diagnosis of bowing fractures and obtaining appropriate imaging in pediatric forearm trauma to prevent sequelae.
Jun 5, 2024 · Anterolateral Bowing and Congenital Pseudoarthrosis of the Tibia are congenital conditions, most commonly associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, that present with a bowing deformity of the tibial. Diagnosis is confirmed with radiographs of the tibia.
May 19, 2024 · Both Bone Forearm Fractures are one of the most common pediatric fractures, estimated around 40% of all pediatric fractures. Diagnosis is made with plain radiographs of the forearm. Treatment is closed reduction and casting for the majority of fractures.
Eleven children with forearm bowing fractures were followed up after 80 months. They were evaluated specifically for pain, function, and cosmesis. Remodeling was assessed by comparing radiographs.
Jun 14, 2021 · Fibular Deficiency is a congenital condition caused by shortening or absence of the fibula which typically presents with anteromedial bowing of the tibia and a leg length discrepancy. Diagnosis is made with radiographs of the tibia.
Pediatric Bowing Fracture. Etiology: trauma. Imaging: in forearm / lower leg, bending deformity without obvious fracture, may or may not see periosteal reaction on followup radiographs. Clinical: can result in limited supination / pronation of arm if not treated, therefore must be reduced.
Sep 15, 2022 · Midshaft fractures of the forearm will be addressed here. The diagnosis and management of distal forearm fractures in children and other upper extremity fractures are discussed separately.
Forearm fractures are common in childhood, accounting for more than 40% of all childhood fractures. About 3 out of 4 (75% of) forearm fractures in children occur at the wrist end of the radius. Forearm fractures often occur when children are playing on the playground or participating in sports.
Jul 4, 2023 · Bowing fractures of the forearm are characterised by numerous micro-fractures on the concave surface of the affected bone (s), usually caused by a fall on an outstretched arm. Children are more susceptible to this type of injury than adults because their long bones have more elasticity.
