Background: To break or not to break-That is the question that has been asked in pediatric traumatology for many years regarding the treatment of greenstick fractures of the diaphyseal forearm shaft.
Objective: The frequency of greenstick fractures of the forearm shaft in children and adolescents; the influence of breaking the fracture on the refracture rate.
Methods: Analysis and discussion of relevant articles, analysis of the refracture rate of pediatric greenstick fractures of the forearm shaft in our own patient population.
Introduction: In the field of pediatric trauma computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) systems have emerged offering a promising avenue for improved patient care. Especially children with wrist fractures may benefit from machine learning (ML) solutions, since some of these lesions may be overlooked on conventional X-ray due to minimal compression without dislocation or mistaken for cartilaginous growth plates. In this article, we describe the development and optimization of AI algorithms for wrist fracture detection in children.
