Study Summary
Background: distal radial buckle fractures are common injuries in children. the ideal immobilization technique is controversial. Few, retrospective studies have been conducted to evaluate bone healing after casting versus splinting. However, the impact of the immobilization technique on daily function and comfort has not been evaluated. Objective: To compare the impact on daily function, comfort and satisfaction of casting versus splinting in children with distal radial buckle fractures. Primary Hypothesis: Children with short arm casts to immobilize a distal radial buckle fracture will have a greater reduction in daily activities compared to those immobilized with a volar splint. Secondary Hypothesis: Children who are immobilized in a short arm cast will have less pain, less patient/parental satisfaction, more adverse effects, fewer follow-up visits, longer emergency department (ED) treatment time. Furthermore, we hypothesize that all fractures will have acceptable alignment/healing at the follow-up orthopaedic clinic evaluation.
