Abstrakt: The hand and wrist are the most common sites of skeletal injury in children (Hastings and Simmons 1984), with fractures of the distal end of the radius being the most common (Landin 1997). Wrist fractures are usually the result of falls, the ubiquitous ‘FOOSH' (fall on out-stretched hand) on the X-ray request, or sports related injuries. Again these are common injuries of childhood, with 42% of all fractures of the radius and ulna occurring in children up to the age of 14 (Chung and Spilson 2001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
