Salter–Harris type-IV displaced distal radius fracture in a 5-year-old

Abstract: Displaced Salter-Harris type-IV fractures are rare in young children and can result in articular incongruity or premature physeal arrest. We describe a 5-year-old boy who sustained a displaced left distal radial Salter-Harris type-IV fracture. The patient had normal wrist function and physeal growth at the 3-year postoperative follow-up. Our patient is by far the youngest reported child with a displaced Salter-Harris type-IV fracture of the distal radius. Prompt anatomic reduction and fixation of a displaced d… Show more

“…Of all fizeal fractures, 30-46% are distal radiologists and 86% of these fractures occur in children 9 years of age. [38,39] In our study, 87 (36.7%) cases of distal radius fracture were detected in accordance with the literature. In children, elbow dislocations are less common than adults.…”
